Meet Avery DeLite
Burlesque is supposed to be fun. Avery DeLite takes that very seriously.
Avery DeLite is a Missoula, Montana burlesque performer, producer, emcee, and teacher known for high camp, queer joy, and rhinestone-covered chaos.
Performing since 2022, Avery has taken the stage throughout Montana and beyond, bringing comedy, glamour, character, and unapologetic sex appeal to his burlesque performances. His acts can be hilarious, ridiculous, glamorous, emotional, or some combination of all four.
As a performer and producer, Avery is passionate about creating spaces where people can have fun, take up space, and see something a little different onstage. He also brings that same energy to teaching, helping performers build engaging acts without worrying about being perfect.
Whether he’s playing a ridiculous character, turning up the glamour, or taking an audience somewhere a little more unexpected, Avery’s goal is simple: make the audience feel something.
Usually, there’s rhinestone involved.
The Performance
Sexy. Campy. Ridiculous. Glamorous.
Avery DeLite is a Missoula, Montana burlesque performer known for acts that bring together big character, musicality, comedy, and serious stage presence. His performances can be polished and glamorous, completely absurd, surprisingly emotional, or all three at once.
From the glamour of an era when smoke-filled rooms provided their own natural photo filters to character-driven comedy and unapologetic camp, Avery isn’t interested in fitting neatly into one version of what a burlesque performer is supposed to look like.
Whether he’s playing a ridiculous character, serving up some serious glamour, or taking an audience somewhere unexpectedly tender, Avery’s burlesque performances are built around personality, storytelling, and knowing exactly when to take the costume off.
Based in Missoula, Avery performs throughout Montana and beyond, bringing his distinctly campy, sexy, and theatrical approach to every stage.
The Production
Avery doesn't just perform burlesque. He produces it, too.
Through Avery DeLite Productions, Avery produces burlesque and variety shows throughout Montana, bringing performers and audiences together for nights built around community, creativity, and a whole lot of sequins.
From queer-focused productions and Pride fundraisers to themed burlesque shows and variety events, Avery approaches every production with intention. Thoughtful casting, strong themes, great performers, and creating a stage worth showing up for are all part of the job.
When Avery DeLite is producing a show, it’s basically him and his collection of spreadsheets against the world. He will not stop until he reaches total domination, or until he encounters a spreadsheet error he absolutely refuses to admit he caused.
