Catherine D'lish, Biography

Catherine D’Lish has earned a reputation as a contemporary "striptease virtuoso" with her unusually inventive shows performed in an elegant and whimsical style. She has headlined in varied venues from Las Vegas casinos, nightclubs and fetish events to the top gentlemen’s clubs and "mainstream" theaters since 1990, and has recently returned from starring in "Burlesque Fest", the first national tour of its kind.

Catherine has competed in and won nearly every pageant and title available to striptease performers, holding over thirty titles such as Miss Nude USA, World’s Performer of the Year, Miss Erotic World, Showgirl of the Year, Miss Exotic America, Miss Nude International, USA’s Best Shows, Miss Exotic World, and the Burlesque Hall of Fame.

Catherine is well known for her extravagant costumes and elaborate props. Recognized as the premier fan dancer today, her most popular shows are classic striptease- complete with a giant champagne bubble bath finale!

Catherine’s costumes are ornately hand-jeweled and feathered, with laborious attention to detail not commonly seen today. Each of her dazzling ensembles is paired with an equally lavish prop. Catherine has the most extreme collection of enormous props in the business, including a grand gilded birdcage, giant spider web, and a magnificent eight-foot tall waterfall complete with fountains and flowers.

Creating her own original shows and wardrobe has always been extremely rewarding for Miss D’Lish. Taking advantage of her musical background, Catherine is now incorporating vocals into her always evolving repertoire. An insatiable appetite for rhinestones, feathers, and bigger, better acts coupled with a genuine love for performing ensures that burlesque devotees can look forward to plenty more to come!
