About...

Dee Lightfull is a bold, bodacious performer from Freeville, New York, known for serving up full-figured fantasy with a wink, a wiggle, and a whole lot of wit.  Equal parts sultry and smartass, she’s spent the last five years slaying stages across eleven states and two countries with her signature in-your-face style.

​

In 2025, she strutted her stuff at the Vermont Burlesque Festival. That same year, she produced Reveal-ution!, a landmark show headlined by burlesque icon Bella Sin, amplifying diverse voices and reminding the audience that joy is a form of resistance. She also shared her burly brainpower as an instructor at BurlyCon 2025 and virtually in 2024.

​

As founder of Burlesque Buffet, Dee is an award-winning producer who has created an inclusive, high-impact platform for emerging and established performers to serve up their most dee-licious selves.

​

A Rubenesque celebration of eyes and thighs, Dee Lightfull is an unapologetic revelation of pervy and flirty that you can dee-pend on to leave hearts racing and pulses pounding!
She’s not just delightful—she’s Dee Lightfull.
