Ben Noir Burlesque

If you’re looking for that “un petit peu de plus” or a little something extra, Ben Noir is perfect for that event which requires a cheekier touch!

You may have seen him as acrobatic flash across the screen in the hit film ‘Moulin Rouge’ by Baz Luhrmann back in 2001, or one of the first performers to cross the stadium in the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony in 2000 as a giant flying sea creature! 

Since then, Ben Noir, a multitalented singer, actor and musician has performed all over the world. 

Ben has an extraordinary vocal range of 4 and a half octaves – highly unusual for a guy who “looks like an AFL player” as Guy Sebastion put in when Ben performed on The Voice Australia back in 2019. 

His foray into burlesque began at the Paris Burlesque Festival 2010 where he was asked to add a cheekier element to his singing prowess. Combining his acrobatic talents, an ex competitive gymnast as well as having worked for physical theatre and circus companies such as “Legs on The Wall” and “Rock and Roll Circus” (now Circa), his ‘singing whilst in a handstand striptease’ left the Paris audiences gasping for more. In 2016 he wowed audiences in Canada at the Montreal Burlesque Festival and subsequent world tour in 2018 performing his signature act "Burlesque at the Opera” at the Vienna Boylesque festival, sharing the bill with Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst. He was then invited to perform at the Australian Embassy in Paris by the then ambassador to France. This tied up a most successful trip, performing his signature show about an Australian boy’s trip to Paris, in Paris, with the Eiffel tour as a backdrop (See performance here)

He was then flown to Britain in 2020 to perform his signature act “Burlesque at the Opera” for Britain’s Got Talent and had covid not hit was due to return to perform in subsequent rounds. 

In 2022, his next adventure was an appearance on Australia`s Got Talent where he fooled the judges into thinking that he was actually French and had the audience in stitches with his towel twirling Opera singing hilarious antics.

He has also released an album and produced his full cabaret show Ben Noir’s French Cabaret, which toured to Melbourne’s iconic Butterfly club, and The Basement in Sydney as well as some original songs (outside of the French genre)

Whether he's singing opera behind a towel or playing accordion and stripping at the same time, you will never cease to be amazed by the sensational Ben Noir!
