HEADLINER:

  • Frankie Ficticious, renowned for her extravagant costumes, exceptional artistic vision, and impeccable musicality, Frankie titalates audiences around the globe with her mesmerizing performances. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but known world wide as an international burlesque sensation. She is a celebrated burlesque artist who held the title of Miss Exotic World from 2019-2021 and was crowned Miss Viva Las Vegas in 2017. She has been consistently recognized as one of the TOP 50 Most Influential Burlesque Performers Worldwide since 2017 and was a featured performer in Dita Von Teese’s Night of the Teese.


FEATURE PERFORMERS:

  • La Dame Derrière, La Dame Derrière is a potent mix of sensuality, soft curves, and sapphic angst. This fiery femme has traveled all over North America snatching crowns and stealing girlfriends. Their work is for the gays and theys, centering queer art and bringing the drama from a background in opera and drag. Get ready to fall in love or fall to your knees before them! La Dame Derrière is a potent mix of sensuality, soft curves, and sapphic angst. This fiery femme has traveled all over North America snatching crowns and stealing girlfriends. She’s the current reigning Miss Viva Las Vegas and Monarch of the Pacific Northwest Burlesque Festival, as well as a title holder at three other festivals (and counting).
  • Queerly Femmetastic , Brooklyn-bred bombshell! She is a nerdy connoisseur of Blackness. Her pronouns are she, her, and ma’am. Queerly is inspired by Black shake-dancers, strippers, and hoochie-coochie girls across generations. She is an internationally renowned ecdysiast, who’s known for snatching crowns and taking titles. Queerly loves the smell of books, practicing sneaky splits, and the feeling of your money on her skin. Grand Master Funk 2024 from What the Funk?! An All BIPOC Burlesque Fest!


HOST:

  • Dee Twenty, at age ten, they walked into the Royal London Wax Museum, saw a grotesque version of Queen Elizabeth II, and promptly vomited on the gift shop floor. When you were ten, Dee Twenty was that guy in the big tank at Undersea Gardens, feeding the giant octopus daily at 11 am and 3 pm. When they were definitely the legal drinking age, Dee Twenty ate a peanut off the floor of Big Bad Johns and it forever changed them. When you were definitely the legal drinking age, Dee Twenty bought you a round of Praire Fire and Smirnoff Ices at Red Jacket. Some of these stories may possibly be true, but who's to say really? All that we know for sure is that Dee Twenty has been clowning around on burlesque stages since 2014 and has deep-cut Victoria-based lore flowing through their veins, so you better get ready to cheer, scream, and wave your Kermit arms with wild abandon!

In addition to enjoying our headliner and features, the Saturday Showcase will feature performers from across Canada and the US.
