Sophie deLightful Presents

Sophie deLightful is a versatile performer, producer and artistic director, with a natural wit, cooling demeanour and an unnerving cheek. She is classy yet brash, heavenly yet devilish, and all the time brimming with sparkles and glitter.

Dipping her stilettoed toe into the burlesque scene first in London in 2009, she performed in newcomer competitions and showcases, and soon started to attract stand-alone gigs at various events and bars around the iconic city. It was, however, a return to the stage in Melbourne as a cabaret performer and producer which really got things moving for this powerhouse. Since 2015, she has forged a name for herself in the cabaret scene as producer of multiple productions (including Power Pu***es, Babes Ablaze, Frisky Whisky and Just the Tonic), with more in the pipeline. She also creatively directs and curates performances with businesses and festivals, alongside guest performing at regular cabaret and burlesque shows.

Adaptable and reliable, this accomplished cabaret singer, burlesque performer, circus artist and MC has entertained audiences at festivals including Wide Open Space (Alice Springs), AUM Festival and Twisted Frequency (NZ), Rainbow Serpent (Victoria), Elements (Queensland) and Boom Town (England), among others. In collaboration with her creative (and thirsty) friends, she runs biannual boutique alcohol-tasting cabarets, is a driving force behind the vaudeville collective, The Odditorium and is involved with Melbourne-based q***r creative collective Scratch. In the summer of 2018/19, she joined a troupe of international performers as part of the first ever Wandering Circus tour through New Zealand, and recently produced the first troupe’s first Australian tour for five weeks along the East Coast.

During Covid isolation, Sophie ran regular, paid live stream cabarets which employ a new cast of local and international performers each show.
