When Loverboy spoke with Drag icon BenDeLaCreme last month, all eyes were on The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show, but news has reached us that the award-winning director will be keeping us fed through 2026 too! The Drag Race alum with arguably the greatest burlesque routine in herstory has just been announced as the host for provocateur Dita Von Teese’s Nocturnelle UK & EU tour.

Inspired by the magicians of the 19th century, this production conjures a world of wonder where sensuality meets magic. The Nocturnelle tour follows Dita’s record-breaking Glamonatrix tour which remains the biggest touring burlesque show of all-time, spanning multiple continents over a five year period.

BenDeLaCreme says, “As a lover of burlesque and a long time admirer of Dita’s artistry, this is truly a dream come true! I am incredibly honored that this titan of tease has asked me to host her monumental new production! Watch out world, cuz there’s no way to prepare for the Dita/DeLa one-two punch!”

Dita Von Teese says, “As a big fan, I’m absolutely over the moon to have BenDeLaCreme join forces with me, leading the Nocturnelle tour as our host. I know audiences will adore the glamorous hilarity of DeLa just as much as I do. I cannot wait to kick off this tour with one of my favorite queens in showbiz!”
