Oxfordshire’s Cream Tease troupe brings burlesque, cabaret, and camp chaos to the Unicorn Theatre

Get ready for a night of wicked wit, dazzling decadence, and unapologetic naughtiness with Snow White and the Seven Deadly Sins, the new burlesque pantomime from Oxfordshire’s very own troupe, Cream Tease. 

Since 2018, Cream Tease have been lighting up Abingdon’s historic Unicorn Theatre with their signature blend of burlesque, cabaret, comedy and community spirit, celebrating empowerment, body positivity, and local talent. Led by the irrepressible Miss Cherry Buns and hosted by the charismatic Derry Pope: The Divine Cabaret, the troupe have built a loyal following for their glitter-drenched nights combining glamour, satire, and plenty of tongue-in-cheek humour. 

Burlesque (from the Italian burla meaning “joke” or “mockery”) has always been about parody and play and Cream Tease keep that tradition alive, fusing classic striptease and musical theatre with bold, modern storytelling. After a trip to the West End inspired their first burlesque pantomime, Fingerella in 2023, (a sell-out hit) the troupe vowed never to do another panto… until now. 

This year, they’re back – and naughtier than ever – with Snow White and the Seven Deadly Sins, a camp explosion of saucy humour, glittering burlesque routines, musical mischief and dirty double entendres.
