Miss Violet DeVille celebrates 13 years of burlesque with a show about the weird, the mysterious, and the delightful.

Does the number thirteen bother you? May we suggest some exposure therapy? Triskaidekaphobia is a fear of the number 13 and Miss Violet DeVille is the opposite of that; she loves the number 13! She’s a triskaidekaphile. It’s her lucky number. She made her burlesque debut in 2010 at the Little Red Studio and she hasn’t looked back. 13 years later she’s delighted audiences all around the Puget Sound and Washington state, throughout the US, and across Canada.

Triskaideka-FEEL-Ya is a tribute to the eccentricities, peculiarities, and flat-out weirdness that make us all unique. Drawing inspiration from the number 13, a symbol of mystery and superstition, Miss Violet DeVille has curated an unforgettable experience that combines burlesque, music, and theatre.

The show is hosted by Lilith van Dyke and features performances from Miss Violet DeVille, Beau NusHole, Kitten A. Round, Morgan LaMay, Scandal From Bohemia, Sneaky Boo, and Vena Kahlo, each bringing their unique talents and quirks to the stage. Some are veteran performers who have had a strong influence on Miss DeVille to up-and-coming artists in the local burlesque scene, these performers will showcase their abilities in a series of mesmerizing, thought-provoking, or just funny acts that will leave you enthralled.

Triskaideka-FEEL-Ya is Saturday, July 15th at the Rendezvous Jewelbox on 2322 2nd Avenue in Seattle. The show begins at 7:00 pm. Tickets are on sale now at http://pdpr.biz/13

Once again the maelstrom has settled over Seattle and the winds threaten to tear apart all that isn’t secure. Come down to the Re-Bar to get out of the storm and stay for the stories. Join us for burlesque tribute to the creativity of Neil Gaiman. He’s written for comic books and authored many novels, movie scripts and teleplays. His stories have taken us from the lands of fantasy to the stars in science fiction tales. That is the just the beginning of what you may find waiting for you in Worlds’ End.

“Worlds’ End turns three and we’re celebrating,” said the show’s producer, Miss Violet DeVille. “With some new takes on stories we’ve told before and we have new ones that are eagerly waiting for you.”

Worlds’ End Burlesque Revue is July 17th and 18th at the Re-Bar.

There 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.

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.

When 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. Here at the Belltown Burlesque Revue we not only approve of this approach, we’re going to do it one better! We’re going to spend an evening looking at the roots of the neo burlesque movement through the lens of classic burlesque! It’s an evening of tributes to those who laid the foundation we dance upon and a celebration of the classic bump and grind.

The Belltown Burlesque Revue: Where We Came From is on June 14th on the very eastern edge of Belltown in Seattle at the Re-Bar.

Like physics, the internet has its own set of “natural” laws. The most exciting: Rule 34, which states that if you can think of it, there is sexually explicit material of it. Therein lies our inspiration. With a steaming hot cast of burlesque’s finest, Rule 34 explores the deepest depths of our imaginations and the interwebs that bring them to light. 

“Why you think the net was born? Porn! Porn! Porn!” – Trekkie Monster, from the hit Broadway musical Avenue Q.

Over 30% of all Internet traffic contains porn and YouPorn.com uses 6 times the bandwidth of the streaming media site Hulu. We think Trekkie Monster might be onto something.

Rule 34 is May 10th at the Re-Bar in Seattle. Mister Bawdy is our Master of Ceremonies, our Potentate of Porn, our Sultan of Smut, and our Dictator of Dirt. Following his lead is Tamara the Trapeze Lady, Boom Boom L’Roux, Whisper De Corvo, Miss Violet DeVille, Maggie McMuffin, Cinnamon Maxxine, Magnolia Monroe, Morgue Anne, Dee Lushious, and Ms. Audrey Rugburn! The doors open at 6:30 pm and seating begins at 7:00 pm with the showing starting at 7:30 pm. Tickets start at $13 and are available through www.BrownPaperTickets.com and for $15 at the box office day of show.
