Does the word “burlesque” make you picture Dita von Teese with feather fans — or Miss Piggy taking it off for Kermit? If the latter, you won’t want to miss ALTERNATEASE!, three nights of the nation’s freshest, hottest, and weirdest striptease! This inaugural festival brings together neo-burlesque performers from all over the U.S. and Canada in a celebration of artful oddity!
THURSDAY, AUGUST 15th is the NEW ENGLAND CLAMBAKE, where a raucous local welcoming committee, headed by MC Niki Luparelli, kicks off the weekend at glittering OBERON! Boston’s featured performers include Sugar Dish, Femme Brulee, Lolli Hoops, Rogue Burlesque, The Slaughterhouse Sweethearts, Sirlesque, and more…and look for friends from contiguous states in the mix as well. If they bowl you over, live music from Johnny Blazes and the Pretty Boys will get you back on your feet!
