Career

Her burlesque performance attracted many favorable reviews from critics and she soon became a successful performer. She was next seen with her two-night show at the West End where she performed her sketch along with a live band. This, too, became a major success. She repeated the same performance at the famous St. James Theatre in London. Her sultry jazz performances were noted by the critics as ‘fresh’ and ‘powerful’. Lily hasn’t had to look back since then. She currently continues to host her performances around the country.
