Niki Rush is ur fave neuroqueer sensuous shapeshifting weirdo

Sweet but psycho; unhinged, intense, and totally stupid! A proper bumb slut! Niki Rush is a hyperactive, hypersensitive, and hypersexual weirdo with a risqué, provocative, and playful presence. Niki’s grotesque burlesque uses erotic dance, striptease, clowning, voice, audience participation, and overall silly absurdity to reclaim and empower neurodivergent qualities often stigmatised in womxn. Niki is inspired by Britney Spears, Bjork, and all other femmes/queers who fxck with societal expectations of ‘normal’ ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. 

As a DJ, Niki spins femme and queer focused hot pop, sensual R&B, and erotic electronic to bring the rush to the dance floor. Niki Rush is a dirty heady high that’ll leave you dizzy, lightheaded & slightly nauseous.

Niki has performed at Queer Theory Cabaret, Grind Yr Axe, Lemon Tree, and is a recipient of Take Me Somewhere’s Spring Residency 2024.

‘Niki’s Masks’ is a four part series of cabaret performances  that fxck with cultural tropes of neurodivergent femininity. Using persona, dance, song, costume and text, she morphs into The Hysteric, The Dunce, The Manic Pixie Dream Girl and The Nymph – adopting the mask of each trope to then tear it apart and imagine something anew.

The series is in development - see below for more information on Niki’s Nymph, Hysteric, and Dunce - all are ready for booking! Acts can be tailored to the context, and can run between 5-20 minutes. Keep your eager peepers peeled for the final instalment, The Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

  • I will not be a naughty girl
    I will not be a naughty girl
    I will not be a naughty girl
    I will not be a naughty girl
    I will not be a naughty girl

    Niki Rush is a Dunce!
    A class clown, naughty schoolgirl, and all-round Bumb Slut…
    She is bound to be disciplined and punished.
    But now, she wants to be your A+ pupil.
    She needs to take it slow and have some special assistance,
    But she’s hoping to finally be a good girl, for you.

    … She’ll get you round the back of the bike sheds first though?

  • Delicate, naïve woodland pixie?
    Or horny, insatiable little devil?
    Hopeless romantic?
    Or Duracell Bunny?
    Niki invites you to fxck around and find out…

  • Wah, wah, waaaaaah! 
    Niki is proper hysterical.
    She wails, she shakes, she screams…
    A hot mess who loves a Jung man,
    She’s crying out and rocking back and forth, ready to be your subject…
    Shall we start the session?
