PERFORMER ANNOUNCEMENT: Lilith Von Bite 💀

Lilith Von Bite has risen from the crypt!

A founding Candy Cult Burlesque member from way back in 2018, Lilith returns from the ashes after several years of slumber, and she’s hungry for the stage once again.

Rising from the shadows of Syracuse, New York, this vampiric vixen brings dark glamour, wicked charm, and a taste for the theatrics. After years away, she’s ready to sink her teeth back into the spotlight and remind everyone exactly why she was one of the original creatures of the Cult. This time for her first time on the National Stage!

So dim the lights, lock your doors, and come a little closer… Come take a bite, if you dare!
