Miss Maybe performs traditional British Burlesque acts that skillfully merge the best of Vaudeville and Music Hall with sharp wit and observational comedy. A trained actress, she brings an innate understanding of the stage and character to her acts, often combining humorous monologues with striptease and clowning. Her ability to create plausible yet ridiculous characters is unparalleled; to do so whilst retaining the audience’s empathy despite their antics is testimony to her great skill as a performer. She is an accomplished compere and is currently touring the UK with her theatre show ‘ A Glimpse of Stocking’, a one-woman show that celebrates the wit and irreverence of British Burlesque.

Queenie Valentine

“She sings! She dances! She makes granny pants look hot! Absolutely loved ‘A Glimpse of Stocking’”.

Claire

“If you had told me earlier that day I would be lounging across a chair in fishnets and a basque and feeling amazing I would have laughed at you. Something changed in the way that I held myself too and the very next day at the supermarket people where actually turning their heads to look at me!! I hadn’t changed at all physically, in fact I was the biggest I have ever been but due to Burlesque and Miss Maybe – my attitude changed”

Lisa

“I have become a big fan of burlesque performances, and was excited to be taking part in the workshop. It was great to meet so many different women genuinely supportive of each other. We were nervous, but our tutor made as feel at ease and created an environment that was about being silly, sexy, laughing and glamour, but above all else was inclusive, if your legs are long and lean, celebrate them, but equally if your bum wobbles, then jiggle it! If something “sticks out” then push it! I think women need burlesque right now, at a time when feminine beauty is increasingly defined by the page 3 Jordan look, women want something accessible that makes them feel good about themselves. I left Miss Maybe’s class on a high!’
