One of the hottest shows of the year is set to take over New York City once again and we’re already getting heart palpitations just thinking about it. The Ninth Annual New York Burlesque Festival is happening between September 29th-October 2nd and will feature some of the most glamorous living pinups to ever strip on stage. This year has an all-star lineup, but just in case you need a quick refresher on what to expect, we’ve compiled some videos on the some of the
best entertainers strutting their stuff. Remember, these are just a few of the many amazing performers in burlesque and most of them listed are from New York. To find out why audiences just can’t get enough of pasties, check out this year’s glittering events. Just be warned-you may be tempted to shake your tail feather right along with them.
Angie Pontani
Sometimes you don’t need show off skin to keep audiences on their toes and in the case of Italian stallionette Angie Pontani, she masters the art of teasing to please. Here, she proudly displays her ballet skills, all while leaving viewers breathless.
World Famous *BOB*
There’s a reason why New Yorkers love it when the buxom blonde from Texas mixes up one of her signature martinis. We bet
your bartender doesn’t know how to make use of their assets quite like this!
Jo Boobs
The sexy godmother of the neo-burlesque movement leads a school dedicated to the art of striptease in New York City. When she’s not educating ladies and gents on how to take it off, she pays tribute to performers from the past. Here’s the divine Jo Boobs honoring the late
burlesque sensation Sherry Britton.
Nikki LeVillain
Seductress Nikki LeVillain hails from Connecticut, but she never fails to enchant audiences anywhere in the country with her tantalizing hip bumps and heart stopping snake dance.
Ruby Valentine
Here’s a warning to the fresh fellas in the audience: never piss off this alabaster beauty. Sensual starlet Ruby Valentine carries a pair of nunchucks and she knows how to use them!
Miss Indigo Blue
Like Jo Boobs of New York City, Seattle’s Miss Indigo Blue is also the headmistress of her own burlesque academy. It’s easy to see why ladies throughout the country want to master her moves. Here she channels another
burlesque star, famously known as Wild Cherry.
Nasty Canasta
Who would have thought that a car alarm could sound so sweet? New York City’s Nasty Canasta, also known as “the girl with the 44DD brain,” takes it to the streets with her take of the classic fan dance.
Darlinda Just Darlinda
New York City’s Darlinda Just Darlinda can shake her booty all night long and we don’t mind it at all. Finx out what happens when you make this girl dance with black light and not much else.
Gal Friday
The “five-alarm fire of burlesque” loves heating up any
night in New York City with dazzling glove peels, feverish bump ‘n’ grinds, and plenty of tassel twirling.
Tigger
Burlesque isn’t just for the ladies. Tigger always delights audiences with his wild theatrical numbers titled “Tawny the Tigress,” and “Gender Surrender,” just to name a few. Check out one of his infamous numbers, “Father McTigger."
