Ep. 9 Bathing in Milk, Pissing White Whine, and Using the Whole Chicken with Ray Gunn


Listen Later

A PSA to all bachelorettes: today is NOT your day. I chatted with the disarmingly charming Ray Gunn about the overlooked connotations of the word “boylesque," the best practices for dealing with Australian hen parties, why lactose and codpieces should never meet, the two sexiest things a performer can do onstage, drinkin’ white wine and pissin’ on Coney Island, pillow talk with the late Toni Elling, the main difference between Chicago and New York burlesque performers, and how to use the “whole chicken” onstage.

Shout outs to Due Damage, Hot Toddy, Jett Adore, Bazuka Joe, Perle Noire, Egypt Blaque Knyle, Isaiah Esquire, Tigger, Bettie Blackheart and Epe, the Burlesque Hall of Fame, and the late Toni Elling.
