>_BURLESQUE: RANDY BOOTS [ TORONTO ]
Randy Boots enjoys exposing himself to audiences with acts that are silly and strange. If you’ve not caught him in the middle of a toilet stall transformation, then you may have seen him perform at Sugar Shack or with Cheap Thrills Cabaret. He’s also been lucky enough to toss off his crafty creations at festivals in Saskatoon, Halifax and Toronto.
Randy always goes that extra inch to show the world his love of peeling, puns, props, and puppets!- Can't wait to see his darker side for Fascination!!
