Tassel Events was born from a passion for community connection, artistic freedom, and the drive to redefine how burlesque is seen and celebrated in Australia. .

Based in Melbourne, we exist to shift the narrative around burlesque—not just as entertainment, but as a powerful, historically rich art form rooted in satire, storytelling, and social commentary.

Burlesque is more than taking your clothes off—it’s a bold act of expression. It's political. It's personal. It's performance art wrapped in rhinestones. And at its core, the body is a canvas for rebellion, identity, and beauty in all its diverse forms.

Tassel began as an underground platform for emerging talent—a space where new voices could rise and seasoned performers could push artistic boundaries. What started as a small, grassroots show has evolved into one of Melbourne’s premier burlesque production companies, now known for producing standout events like The Big Burlesque Show, The Victorian Burlesque Gala, Tassel Thursday, and Mx Burlesque Victoria.

Today, Tassel Events champions diversity, inclusion, and fierce creativity across the burlesque and cabaret scene. Our shows are a celebration of performers of all genders, body types, backgrounds, and levels of experience. We are deeply committed to uplifting artists, entertaining audiences, and creating safer, ethical spaces that prioritise respect, joy, and bold artistic expression.

We run on passion. We stand for zero tolerance of bad behaviour, and 100% commitment to supporting burlesque as a legitimate, evolving, and empowering art form. We believe in joy. We believe in art that makes people feel seen. And we believe Melbourne deserves world-class burlesque that reflects the vibrant, creative soul of this city.

At Tassel Events, we’re not just putting on shows—we’re part of a creative revolution. Game changers. Rule breakers. Glitter warriors. Here to honour the past and shape the future of burlesque in Australia.
