Philadelphia Area Burlesque Happenings!
 

Hey all! So, in my spare time I perform with a local drag & burlesque troupe and thought it might be fun to put up the info for our shows in case anybody is around and is looking for something to do. I know there are a few troupes in the Philly area, if anyone else hears of other shows, it might be fun to post them here. Kind of a "drag and burlesque exchange students" thing! :)


For the facebookers:

This Friday is a Valentine's Day Dance at the Mt Airy Art Garage. Here's the link to the event:

MAAG Valentine's Day Dance Party



Our monthly drag/burlesque show in March is going to be CRAZY! We're doing a murdery mystery drama! Want to know which queen will make it? Who will wear the wig? How many pasties and mustaches you can fit into one show? This is the place to find out!

Murder Ze Wrote - Liberty City Kings Queer & Kinky Cabaret



There's a website too, but the new flyer info hasn't gone up yet. :)

Looking forward to hearing about everything else that's going on out there in drag and burlesque land!

If you happen to take a trip this way, I will absolutely put you on the guest list. :)

I've had y'all on my FB for a while but didn't know there was a BFP connection - one more reason to take a road trip to Philly!

holy cow, that's AWESOME!!! We would love to have you at a show! :)

Did anyone else check out the Winter Brrrrrlesque show at Sisters on Friday night? Holy toledo, there were some fantastic performance, and even a Dr. Who number!!!!


I'm also proud to say that two of my glitter family members will be representing our troupe at FIERCE! international queer burlesque festival in May. FIERCE QUEER BURLESQUE So excited for them!!


There was also a queer prom in west philly that had burlesque performances! It seems like you can't turn around in this city without an amazing show happening!

Maybe you'll perform in NYC some time!

OMG i would LOVE to!!! The NYC crowd is still a bit too tough for me, but I will get there eventually. :) you will be the first person I tell when anyone in the troupe has a show there. :)

There's an incredible show in Philly called The Peekaboo Revue, featuring some fantastic burlesque performers. One of the current troupe members (since 2006!) is offering beginner burlesque classes starting in March. I signed up for three weeks' worth already and then I thought "well what if there are others who want to try this out and see what it's all about?!?" So of course the first place I thought of was the BFP fam!

Hmmmm... can't make this weekend's show, but I might be able to go to the one on April 6th. Let me see if I can fish around for any Philly friends to stay with and go with me. :)

That would be AMAZING!!! :) I hope you can make it!
