An excellent show. Even if you are a misogynistic pig you’ll be entertained.

A very entertaining burlesque and variety show. Well done ladies. Try and catch this show before it’s gone.

A burlesque show with a “women’s empowerment” message. Multi-racial performers spanning in age from 20s/30s to 40s/50s, which was great to see. Multimedia projections on rear screen with great feminist quotes. A variety of music accompanied each performer, sometimes a little “angry, hard metal-ish” to something more playful and light. Note: The performance I attended ran around 35 minutes unlike the other hour-long shows I’ve attended. Not an issue, but thought I’d mention it in case it would change your “Fringe performance itinerary”. 🙂
In general, the individual performances were ok, not great. The highlight for me was that it was thought provoking. (me: 120lbs with body image insecurities) Watching many of the overweight or very overweight performers made me uncomfortable, forcing me to reflect on our society where waif-like women are thought to be the ideal.
I applaud every one of them for their self-acceptance and for “strutting [all] their stuff”. Sexy and confident comes in all sizes and ages, and I bet this performance will remind me of that far into the future.
