"TBF returned in October 2024 after a multi-year hiatus. We are bigger, brighter, and better than ever before! TBF 2025 is happening November 13-16, at our new partner venue, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.
Our festival proudly celebrates the best of Canadian and international burlesque, cabaret, and circus arts.
We are a volunteer-run nonprofit organization.
TBF’s mission is to showcase neo-burlesque artistry with a focus on creating spaces where diverse perspectives and experiences are valued, appreciated, and championed.
Our Vendors’ Marketplace (Friday, November 14 & Saturday, November 15) will take place in Tallulah’s Cabaret at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.
All shows occur in the main Chamber space at Buddies. The market will be open before each show, at intermission, and following the revues.
Patrons will have access to the whole venue throughout their evenings, including the bar in Tallulah’s, where they can relax, grab a drink, peruse the market, and watch the simulcasts of the show in the Chamber.
Our audiences love unique, handmade wares - the sparklier the better. They’re also vintage aficionados, curios curators, and camp and kitsch collectors.”

Hot Shot Chocolate made with
100% Sustainable, Traceable Cocoa Beans
Hot Shot Chocolate products are made with premium couverture chocolate made from ethically sourced cocoa beans from 3 countries: Ivory Coast, Ghana & Ecuador.
Anually audited through the independent non-profit organization - Cocoa Horizons. www.cocoahorizons.org
Cocoa Horizons improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities through the promotion of sustainable, entrepreneurial farming, improved productivity, and community development, which protect nature and children.
Premium Couverture Chocolate
Hot Shot Chocolate produces only high quality chocolate products made with premium couverture chocolate.
Couverture chocolate is considered a very high-quality chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is what gives chocolate its unique mouth-feel and stable properties.
To be considered “real” chocolate, a chocolate product will contain only cocoa butter as its fat source, not any other fat substitute. Chocolate that replaces cocoa butter with fats like palm oil are called "compound chocolate" and are considered more of a candy than true chocolate.
Hand Tempering Techniques
Hot Shot Chocolate products are all handcraft, hand tempered in small batches to ensure the highest of quality and attention to detail in every order.
Tempering chocolate is a heating and cooling technique while agitating the cocoa butter content within the chocolate to entice the fatty acid crystals of cocoa butter back into one stable form.
The benefit of chocolate tempering creates a shiny exterior, smooth texture & satisfying snap in every bite!
