For years they have produced various shows and events that captivated audiences throughout San Diego. Specializing in unique, interactive, and glamorous affairs, their shows became a staple in southern California. Having traveled far and wide, performing in cities like London, Toronto, New York, and Denver, they continue to hone and improve their crafts while learning from the best in the industry. They produce a monthly show at Sycamore Den every last Thursday called Burlesque Boogie Nights and are producing a Pink Floyd tribute called Great Gig in the Sky.

In this episode we chat with our great friend and Burlesque Performer, Ruby Tesla! We kick off by addressing the elephant in the room - how coronavirus is affecting us as performers. (spoiler alert: it's not fun) We also discuss balancing our performer life with our private personal life - it's tough, but can be balanced! Tune in to this show where we discuss a lot of opinions about content in shows, positive flirting, and much more!

We were gone for a couple of weeks because all of us are in shows! This week, we're back with our friends Kitten Marie and Cat Forgey! Kitten Marie is a STAR in the Tampa Bay Area, kittening and performing in lots of shows! She talks about her experiences as a stage kitten and funny things that have happened - she is an amazing performer and someone you won't want to miss seeing! Then, we chat with Cat Forgey, a full time Anthropology student at USF - Cat has been coming to local burlesque shows to study queerness in the St. Pete burlesque scene has resulted in three papers, with more work planned for the future. Her research has involved observation at shows and interviews with performers, and has led to fantastic new friendships and an interest in participating more directly herself.

Yay Episode 6! We spent this hour chatting with the lovely Nilla Bean - she's been doing shows with Mayven for many years and they have toured all over the place together. They share some behind the scenes stories and it gets wild! Mayven somehow has the voice of a toddler and a senior citizen at the same time - it's weird. A lot of laughs on this episode - tune in!
