Update:
Fancy Chance is now the reigning Alternative Miss World!!!
Hilarious, glamorous, and exuberantly irreverent, the diminutive Fancy Chance is the undisputed comic spectacle of the UK burlesque/variety/vaudeville circuit and the best tassel twirler east of the Atlantic. Hailing from a background of cabaret, theatre and performance art, in 2001 she was brought into “nouveau burlesque” by the infamous Miss Indigo Blue, founding member of BurlyQ: A Queer Cabaret. Fancy’s goal is to perform acts that dazzle and delight with comic characters and satire to the max whether goose stepping as Kim Jong Il or stripping down to a tasseling sensation!
Fancy performs on stages throughout the US, Europe and is the present art director of BurlyQ. She’s produced and directed the sell out show “BurlyQ Revue” in 2005 and “BurlyQ Pageant” in 2006. She is a member of the Fire Tusk Pain Proof Circus clowning around with the freaks and French Kicks Can-Can and continues to develop her own infectious mixture of comedic vaudeville and ecdysiast entanglements.

Hi Fancy,
Love the show and great conversation about London at Hypergender BurlyQ.
Keep in touch.

Hello Miss Fancy,
After seeing you perform at the Burlesque Freakout in Amsterdam last sunday I can only say one thing: You’ve got yourself a brand new fan!
I really loved your grieving widow act, but your Alice-performance blew me away. You’re not only really funny, but you’ve got the moves AND the curves to set the stage on fire.
I’m looking forward to seeing you perform again the next time you come to Amsterdam.
Regards,
Roland
