Described as “explosively gallus” and hailed as the Powerhouse of Scottish Burlesque, Roxy Stardust has been dancing to the beat of her own bagpipe since birth. With an international career that spans the UK, Europe, the USA(with multiple tours), and now Asia, she has shared stages with some of the world’s most celebrated performers, dazzling audiences at home and across the globe. Currently, she tours with the Great British Circus as Ring Mistress—making her one of the only Scottish women ever to tour the world with a big top circus
A pioneer of the neo-burlesque movement in Scotland, Roxy is recognised globally as one of the country’s leading burlesque and cabaret producers. She is the founder and producer of the Glasgow Festival of Burlesque, and her creative vision has played a vital role in the revival of burlesque across Scotland. She’s also a familiar face at the Edinburgh Fringe, where she’s a sought-after host known for her razor-sharp wit and Glaswegian charm (or lack thereof).
Her producing credits are as ground-breaking as they are glittering:
Never one to be confined to a single persona, Roxy also brings audiences to their feet as her swaggering drag king alter ego Rodeo McGregor, and has them howling with laughter as the sharp-tongued Granny Stardust.
It’s little wonder she’s earned her title as Scotland’s very own GlasVegas Showgirl.
