The Mistress of Glitz, Glamour & Vintage Vaudeville

Miss La Vida is an international burlesque artist, vintage cabaret performer, host, and producer.

Known for her dynamic stage presence, immaculate retro costuming, and genre-blending routines, she has spent years captivating audiences across New Zealand, Australia and Europe with everything from high-energy vaudeville comedy to classic, sultry feather fan dances.

Throughout her performance career, Miss La Vida has achieved major milestones on both local and international stages. Most notably, she made history as the first New Zealander invited to perform in the prestigious "Best Debut" category at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. She has also headlined and featured at major international gatherings, including the New York, Australian, Vancouver and Berlin Burlesque Festivals, while remaining a sought-after feature act for high-profile heritage events such as Napier’s world-famous Art Deco Weekend.

The Princess Of Parody

In addition to her work as a soloist, Miss La Vida has contributed significantly to the cabaret community as a creative director, host, and instructor. She has produced independent revue shows and charity fundraisers, while serving as a charismatic Master of Ceremonies capable of commanding any room. As an educator, she has led workshops in burlesque movement, stage presence, and feather fan technique at studios and festivals across Australasia, helping to mentor and inspire an entire generation of emerging performers.

While currently taking a hiatus from regular live appearances, Miss La Vida’s influence on the Burlesque scene remains enduring, and her body of work continues to celebrate the art of vintage glamour and theatrical tease.
