Award-winning drag artist, comedian, and producer BenDeLaCreme is set to bring her signature charm and comedic brilliance to Dita Von Teese’s highly anticipated Nocturnelle 2026 UK & European tour as its host.
From LA’s Dolby Theatre to NY’s Carnegie Hall, BenDeLaCreme has built a dazzling résumé, starring in, writing, directing, and producing some of the most successful original drag theatre productions in history. Before captivating global audiences and earning cult status on RuPaul’s Drag Race (and All Stars), DeLa honed her craft as a drag and burlesque performer while pursuing her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
With Nocturnelle, Dita Von Teese unveils a new era of enchantment with a sumptuous blend of old-Hollywood elegance, illusion, and the high-art striptease that made her an icon. Inspired by 19th-century magicians, the show promises to conjure a world where sensuality meets sorcery, following the record-breaking success of her five-year Glamonatrix tour, the biggest burlesque tour of all time.
BenDeLaCreme shared her excitement, stating, “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 added, “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.”
