Petite Félicité

The French 75 of Humboldt County

Bathing in Californian sun rays from birth, Petite Félicité danced from age 6 and soared in aerial arts for eight years, only to be irresistibly drawn to burlesque's tantalizing embrace in 2019. With aerial silk, lyra, and fiery performance artistry, she crafts mesmerizing tales that make the world pause.

Based in Humboldt County, she’s not just a performer but a local producer, weaving opportunities for venues and artists. Embracing a holistic approach, Petite melds art with personal growth and healing, resonating with audiences far and wide. She recently completed her first international trip to Panama for the Panama Burlesque Festival. From New York to San Diego, her allure has been celebrated, but Humboldt cherishes her as its sparkling "French 75."

Though delicately named, Petite is a dynamo. A perfect blend of tease and delight, she ensures an unforgettable spectacle, making her Humboldt's most treasured morsel of entertainment.

And we at Coos Corner Cabaret are excited to have her back on our stage, performing for you on April 27, for World Burlesque Day!
