Wheel of Tease Returns for 4 Times the Fun

December 2, 2014 at 6:52 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightThere are two things you don’t see a lot of in neo-burlesque today: live music and on-the-spot -improvisation. When these two elements do come to pass, the result is a rare and beautiful thing. On the Friday, February6th eight performers, some burlesque stars and a few fresh faces, will take the stage and create spontaneous performances using props and song chosen by members of the audience. The soundtrack to this “kamikaze burlesque” will be performed live by Seattle’s only electro-swing band Good Co. Join us for a night of spur-of-the-moment striptease and silly, sexy fun. 

And we're bringing this madness to you four times in 2015.

Sir Eddie Van Glam is back, leading audience members to the stage and helping them select the music Good Co will play and the prop the performer has to dance with. 

Each show has a different cast of performers. Some are local, some are from other states, and a few are from another country altogether. 

February 6th features Reggie Bügmüncher and Kat De Lac from the Keystone state of Pennsylvania . They'll be joining Lowa de Boom Boom, Miss Violet DeVille, Absurdity Belle, Jesus la Pinga, Morgan LaMay, and The Black Sparrow. 

May 8th stars the Paris Original, and features Bettie Fever from Vancouver, B.C., Trixie Paprika, Miss Violet DeVille, Artemis Lark, Morgue Anne, Razzberry Rocket, and Dahlia Ste. cyr.

August 8th brings Vancouver, B.C. starlets Faux Foxy and Ruby Slickeur to our stage along with the local flavor of Cherry "Killer" Tomatoes, Miss Violet DeVille, Bella Luna, Kristina Weena, Mandy Flame, and Verity Germaine.

November sets us up with Rock Hart, the international boylesque sinsation from Edinburgh, Scotland and Port Angeles' own Siouxzie Queen Gypsy and featuring performances from Sara Dipity, Whisper De Corvo, Cirquesse, Miz Melancholy, Magnolia Monroe, and Nickey Bourbon.

10 Captains throw down on January 3rd

November 19, 2014 at 11:19 PMVioletDeVille

The commanding burlesque showdown is back! We have all heard the impassioned, and sometimes very heated, arguments in geek circles. Who is the better captain; is it James T. Kirk or Jean Luc Picard? What about other captains found in television, books, and movies? We have ten captains to put to the test and we aim to settle that little score. And then some with your help. Who will you promote to commodore?

“I think Weird Al summed it up best,” said creator Miss Violet DeVille, “when he said it was the only question he thought was hard in ‘White and Nerdy’. The audience really enjoyed picking their favorites captains.”

Captain Royale Redux is on Saturday, January 3rd at the Re-Bar located at 1114th Howell St. in Seattle. The doors open at 6:30 pm and the show begins at 7:30 pm. Lilith von Fraumench as General Anxiety is our commander of ceremonies leading cast of luminaries featuring Ruby Darling, Claira bell, Violet DeVille, Artemis Lark, Cherry Tart, Mercury Divine, Morgan LaMay, Morgue Anne, Nickey Bourbon, and Tawdry Quirks. Tickets are available on at Brown Paper Tickets and through the Purple Devil Productions website.

Belltown Burlesque Revue: Where We Came From on June 14th

May 9, 2014 at 7:40 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightWhen June comes to call, some people like to look back at the first half of the year and see where they came from as they plot the way forward through the rest of the year.

We’re going to spend an evening looking at the roots of the neo burlesque movement through the lens of classic burlesque!

Miss Violet DeVille wants to introduce you to Beats Antique

March 3, 2014 at 8:32 PMVioletDeVille

CopyrightMiss Violet DeVille is a class act from a history that never was. She is a steampunk with a love of mixing performance with nudity! When not producing and performing in burlesque and cabaret shows, she belly dances, dabbles in absinthe cocktails, creates daguerreotypes and other photographies, and spends far too much time in her workshop making mad science sexy again!

CopyrightAt IndieStrip on Saturday, the Timeless Tollop invites you into her lab where she’s been working on her a latest creation and she’d like to demo it for you. Miss DeVille was compelled to build this clockwork doll after hearing the echoing reverb and rhythms of Beats Antique’s music. David Satori, Sidecar Tommy, and Zoey Jakes have demonstrated solid skills blending jazz and bluesy folk with middle Eastern melodies and riding high on hip-hop influenced beats. Come to the workshop and see what Miss DeVille has assembled for you on March 8th at the Re-Bar.

Let us expose you to something new at IndieStrip: Burlesque Celebrates Independent Music
