Carnal Carnival is a burlesque and variety acts troupe based in Richmond, VA.
Founded by burlesque dancer, storyteller and now Ring Master, Lilith Lore, we try to live up to our Carnival name by being more than just a burlesque troupe. We strive to make sure that each show we put on includes not just semi-naked, beautiful women, but side show and variety acts that would have been right at home at the street fairs and circuses of yesteryear.
We're happy to perform whenever and where-ever we can: theaters, conventions, amphitheaters, you name it.
To learn more about the mysterious "we," please visit out Members page.
We're gearing up for our first full-length show, and therefore our first to include variety acts. It is extremely important to us that our shows are true to burlesque's vaudevillian roots, and include entertainments besides dancing girls. If you juggle, eat fire, perform illusions, spin poi, sing, hammer nails into your own head, or have any other unique talent you would like to share with us, please contact us immediately at carnalburlesque@gmail.com!
