Kid Vicious

Vicious is a Sparkletown resident and has performed in the Slutcracker the past 5 holiday seasons When not performing, Kid Vicious likes to spend her time sipping margaritas in the company of handsome men and cats. Vivienne LaFlamme
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
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. Her first exposure to dance was doing the polka with her grandpa to the accordion heavy sounds at the Slovenian lodge hall. 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. Yummy Hearts
Who is Yummy Hearts?
Is it the fine china? proper etiquette? heavy Asian accent? was all left behind in Malaysia so she could reunite with her inner sexuality. Yummy decided to take a giant leap out of Asia suburbia & dipping her delicate Asian hands into the erotic provocative world which is burlesque. It's a roller-coaster ride of culture, tradition (mainly Asian), vintage, children storybook tales, toys, truthful events, controversial issues of the decades all jumble up into creative dance performances. Her humor is finally taken seriously and she's not afraid to live by the quote 'Rock out with your ..... Out!' Lotta Sass
Lotta Sass is a sweet ingenue who delivers a whole lotta sass by shaking her whole lotta ass!
