In order to avenge my late host upon the hypocritical puritanism that struck her down, she has deigned to allow you human meat bags to gaze upon my Infernal Salaciousness in all it's demonic glory and will be performing with Black Cat Burlesque, La Gata Negra League of Masked Lady Wrestlers, among other temples of temptation.

Vivienne LaFlamme

Picture
Where there's smoke, there's fire. I like to start with a smoulder, move to a slow burn and finally leave the audience in their ashes. Whether I'm performing something classic or neo (and often a mix of the two), I like to bring the audience into my performance and hold them there. I want them to feel a connection with me and that it's like I'm performing for each one, uniquely. I'm cute but quiet. Unknown but approachable.
I started burlesque in 2011. Since then, I’ve been performing all over New England and New York City. I’ve performed at two festivals in Boston-The Great Burlesque Exposition and AlternaTease. And I won Beautifully Bizarre at Bon Appetit Burlesque in Northampton, MA. You’ll see me most of the time in New Haven, so catch up with me, but don’t get too close…or you might get burned!

Jenny Castle

Picture

As the daughter of two ballroom dancing motorcycle enthusiasts, Jenny Castle’s eccentricity was inevitable. She descends from a long line of Slovenian cabbage farmers, who are responsible for the invention of the now world-famous coleslaw wrestling events at Daytona’s annual Bike Week.

In 1984, she twirled her first fire baton at Miss Penny’s baton camp, beginning her lifelong obsession with setting things on fire.
Performing throughout her life, she put her dreams on hold after college to marry a big jerk and have four wonderful, amazing circus children. After teaching dance for 20 years and a few stints as a kindergarten teacher, non-profit organization director, and minister, she divorced that jerk, met Dr. Sinn and the Clowns, and reignited her performance career.
