Sukki Singapora (born Sukki Menon,[4] in Singapore) is a burlesque performer and activist.[4][5] She is best known for being the first international burlesque performer from Singapore.[5][6] She was awarded an "Asian Women of Achievement Award" for her views on freedom of expression for women in socially restrictive countries.[7][8] Her television debut came in 2019 with the first docu series with an all Asian cast launching globally via Netflix, Singapore Social.[9]

Her career choice as a burlesque performer, despite her stringent cultural background, has gained her a large international fanbase,[10] leading to her founding The Singapore Burlesque Society in 2012 to protect primarily Asian women wanting to pursue a career in burlesque.[11][12]
