The Velvet Burlesque presents Sheffield Burlesque & Cabaret Extravaganza!

✨ EVA VON SCHNIPPISCH - LIFE IS A CABARET ✨

Song. Sparkle. Audience mischief. Proper cabaret magic.

This gorgeous live clip from Eva Von Schnippisch captures exactly why cabaret belongs in the room, on the stage, and right in front of a beautifully riled-up audience.

Performing Life Is a Cabaret, Eva brings vocals, character, humour, glamour, and that delicious old-school cabaret connection where the performer, the music, and the audience all become part of the moment.

It is not just a song.
It is the look.
The timing.
The wink.
The laughter.
The atmosphere.
The “you really had to be there” energy.

Filmed live as part of The Velvet Burlesque™ show archive, this clip celebrates the joy, theatricality, and beautiful unpredictability of live cabaret performance - where anything can happen, and usually does.

🎭 Event: The Velvet Burlesque™ presents Cupid Stunts 2023
