She frequently performs in major cities abroad and has starred in shows in Milan, Stockholm, Paris and New York, sharing the bill with some of burlesque's most prestigious names such as Dirty Martini, Immodesty Blaize, Kitten on the Keys, World Famous *BOB* and Kitten De Ville. A remarkably versatile performer, she can effortlessly evoke classic elegance as a traditional stripteaser, but is equally at home as a bumping, grinding, tassel twirling, rock 'n' roll show-stopper, with a taste for the macabre and a knock-out shimmy shake that is second to none.

"She's an uncanny combination of Vampira and Bettie Page - expert at the slightly-sinister raised eyebrow, she can fantastically pull off the shocked damsel-in-distress without missing a beat. Leyla Rose, we salute you!"
Helen Highwater, creator of The Pin-Up Parade (www.pin-upparade.com)

BBC Birmingham
"Leyla Rose has most definitely been granted muse status"
RockStar Vanity Photography
"When Ireland's Leyla Rose, the buxom brunette with translucent skin headlining the show, steps on stage, a hush comes over the room. Her bosom spills over the dark red satin femme-fatale dress, and her pristine face is framed in long black curls. She has the room transfixed as she deftly removes layers of clothing. Unlacing a sequinned bustier, she wraps her breasts in a white mink shawl before turning around to shimmy(...). The tension in the room reaches critical mass - not a breath, not a cough, not a movement from the audience - just before she reveals her abundant breasts covered in rhinestone pasties. Just a peek. But it's enough to ensnare the audience"
Iceland Air's Atlantica Magazine
"She is one ferocious walking firestorm!"

"A cathedral of curves"
