Show Description

Let Risqué Revelry take you on a journey spanning hundreds of years of history starting in the mid-1600s. Discover the humble origins of the bawdy and boisterous art form that is burlesque. From commedia del’Arte to Classical, from Raqs Sharqi to Neo you will be entranced by our performers each making their own mark on each era while highlighting the many diverse voices that contributed to this art form that has recently entered its Renaissance!

Our lovely Bibliobard will take you on the journey from 1600s Italy, through the 1800s Victorian boom. Then you’ll traverse with our vaudevillian Master of the Mic all the way to the buxom golden era complete with belly dance and finishing out with the modern neo movement.

Featuring the Risquette troupe of the twice nominated Best Burlesque Troupe of Kansas City – Risqué Revelry. Knotty Orchid will hold your hearts hostage as the Harlequinn of Commedia del’Arte. Lillie LaLune will give you Victorian elegance from the 1800s. Tiana Charming will shake and shimmy her garters down as we enter the tempting 20s. Eva Amora will give you Tangolele fervor as she brings us into the 40s.

Kimberly will bring us through the 50s for the Golden Era as we explore the entanglement of Belly Dance and Burlesque. That leaves our tantalizing Naja VeNim rounding us out for the modern era to juxtapose our journey!
