WA Exposé

Having a flair for the dramatic since birth, Havana Milkshake grew up with a love of theatre, movies, and singing, and after stumbling across burlesque in 2019, immediately fell in love, taking as many classes in all different genres of the tease with as many different teachers as she could, and performing and volunteering whenever possible. In 2022, she made it through to the finals of The Apprentease WA competition, receiving the only two standing ovations for her comedy act, and has since been flung headfirst into awesome opportunities such as performances at Fringe festival, and teaching classes with Sugar Blue Burlesque since early 2023. Incredibly, Havana managed to accomplish all of this, despite a heart-breaking case of lactose intolerance. 

Now, seducing audiences with her tremendous titbits and bountiful bon-bons, along with a generous dollop of dairy-free cream and rainbow sprinkles, she will leave you begging for a second helping. 

So, what's your flavour?
