How would you describe your performance style on stage?

Weeeee this costume is so sparkly-yay synchronised dancing!-OMG LOOK A DOG

What is your favourite Folly act to perform and why?

Diner - It's super cute, the choreography is fun, and I can pretend that I'm a gum chewing teenage waitress from 
the 50's. 

How did you first get into Burlesque and what do you love about it? 

I've loved the idea of burlesque since the revival came back big style years back and I've dipped in and out 
through working as a dancer. What I really love about burlesque and cabaret is how unique it is - 
you can be whoever or whatever you want to be, and that's okay. Plus the sparkly costumes are fun. 

What is the most glamorous part of being a Burlesque artiste and what is the least?

The most glamorous is the glitter, it's amazing on stage.

The least glamorous is... the glitter, that stuff gets everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE.

Now you are part of a Burlesque bag of pick n mix, which sweet are you most like and why?

Definitely popping candy. I'm fun but unpredictable!

Tell us a fun fact about you that a Folly fan wouldn't know….

I'm left handed and can write completely backwards…

Look out for Penny and all our gorgeous girls in our upcoming shows:
