Scarlett Daggers

The one who makes all this possible… the Mistress of the Merkin.

This rock’n’roll redhead will get you hot under the collar with her sizzling stage presence and megawatt smile. From a flag wielding greaser-girl, B movie Cobra Queen and even Robin Hood, Scarlett Daggers’ unique acts certainly make her stand out from the crowd. With over 12 years in burlesque under her garter belt Scarlett has performed across the UK and Europe.

Scarlett is indeed the mistress of the merkin. Performer, producer and director of the legendary Gilded Merkin shows. Established in 2012 at our very own Glee Club Nottingham, the shows instantly became one of the UK’s biggest cabaret variety shows hosting headline acts to sold out crowds. This continues to this day, plus the show’s success saw it expand to include regular nights in Birmingham and Cardiff Glee Clubs as well as appear at events such as the F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone, the National Hot Rod, Custom and American car show, the Summer of Vintage Festival and too many private parties to mention!

Scarlett also produces several other shows across the UK including La Dé Da Cabaret in Derby, The Wet Spot in Leeds and Dr Sketchy’s Nottingham.

“As one of the original remaining performers of the UK Burlesque revival, Scarlett Daggers is a burlesquer who truly knows and understands her art. A drop dead red head who smoulders onstage, and is an absolute delight off. Her sparkling and sinuous Cobra Woman never fails to elicit gasps of delight from the audience, and her fired up Hot Rod Honey certainly revved the Burly Q crowd’s motors!” – BurlyQ, Sheffield

“Scarlett Daggers’ ‘Cobra Woman’ act hypnotised our audience at Kinky & Quirky and her signature Hot Rod act really fired them up: From dark & sultry to classic pin-up tease, Scarlett was as delightful off stage as she was on –so it’s no wonder she’s regarded as one of the gems of the British burlesque scene” – Kinky & Quirky, Devon
