Denver’s Best Burlesque Performers: Part One – Alabaster
She's actually three feral cats!
If you’re even slightly tapped into the Denver burlesque scene, you’ve undoubtedly heard the name Alabaster. A powerhouse performer, producer, and community builder, Alabaster is a true force of nature in the world of neo-burlesque. With a style that is comedic, alternative, gothy, versatile, and deeply expressive, she blends humor, sensuality, and raw energy into unforgettable performances. Whether she’s commanding the stage at Blassphemy Show or shaking things up at the Creepatorium, one thing is certain—Alabaster leaves an impact.
A Burlesque Chameleon with a Signature Edge
What sets Alabaster apart isn’t just her talent—it’s her ability to shape-shift through styles, emotions, and aesthetics while staying unapologetically herself. She’s known for her signature act, where she holds a mirror and showers herself with love, a performance that is both powerful and mesmerizing. It’s a moment that stays with the audience long after the show ends—a reminder of self-love, confidence, and the raw beauty of performance art.
Her work ethic is unmatched. She’s been performing in Denver and Philadelphia for over 10 years, continuously pushing boundaries and making space for performers who thrive outside of the classic burlesque mold. Through Alabaster Productions, she’s built a reputation for thoughtful, inclusive shows that center alternative styles, music, and identities.
The Blassphemy Show: Metal Go-Go Burlesque at Its Finest
Alabaster’s flagship production, Blassphemy Show, is one of Denver’s most exciting and unique burlesque experiences. Hosted once a month at Lion’s Lair, this show is a celebration of hard rock, metal, and alternative music—a far cry from the vintage jazz soundtracks typically associated with classic burlesque. What makes Blassphemy Show stand out isn’t just the music, though; it’s the long-form performance structure. Unlike most burlesque shows where sets are short and snappy, Blassphemy allows its performers 10 to 15-minute go-go sets, giving them ample time to truly engage the audience and showcase their unique artistic expression.
If you’ve ever wanted to see a burlesque performer scale a wall, Blassphemy Show is where you’ll find it.
Building a Community of Weird and Wonderful Performers
Beyond her own performances and productions, Alabaster has been instrumental in shaping the Denver alternative burlesque scene. She played a key role in launching Creeplesque Fest in 2024—a festival dedicated to all things creepy, weird, and wonderful in burlesque—which was an undeniable success. She also works closely with Cassie Cyanide, Presley Peach, and Emerald Boes to foster the community at Creepatorium, Denver’s home for alternative burlesque and drag.
Alabaster doesn’t just perform; she elevates the entire scene. Through Denver Burlesque Hub, her Substack newsletter, she provides news, casting calls, and show updates for the burlesque community, ensuring that both performers and audiences stay connected to the pulse of the scene.
