I have over 20 years experience performing in burlesque shows and am happy to discuss it :)

    I’ve seen one burlesque show in my life that was part comedy routine, part song and dance number, part strip tease and I absolutely loved it! Is that typical for burlesque shows? How does one find about events in their area to see more like that?

      Yes! Burlesque is a risqué variety show. The strip teases are obviously like the iconic brand of the performances, but really there such a huge emphasis on comedy and having them be fun and enjoyable. The best part of doing burlesque is that you get to do everything. I get to act, dance, sing, perform comedy, occasionally I’ve even done magic. It’s a performer’s dream!
