About our debut & visiting performers:
Gigi & Pop are a music and variety trio from New York City that won the "Best Variety" trophy at the Burlesque Hall of Fame (Exotic World) in Las Vegas in 2009. Info, mp3s, video, photos and more can be found at www.gigiandpop.com.
Anita Cookie is the charmingly inebriated burlesque star whose sparkling singing voice, dynamite shimmy and intoxicated wit have been called everything from "hilarious" (NYTheater.com) to "sizzling hot" (Go Magazine). Originally hailing from the tan line-free shores of the Pacific, she took the stages of New York by storm and can be seen every night knocking audiences out of their chairs around the city, and across the continent from Key West to Toronto. A Golden Pastie Award winner at the New York Burlesque Festival, Anita is also one-third of the quirky music trio Gigi & Pop, winners of the first-ever "Best Variety Act" trophy at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Pageant 2009 in Las Vegas. As a producer, she's created boozier, more naked versions of classic game shows and talk shows, and with her partners in Casino-O'Fortune Cookie Productions she produces an ongoing series of sold-out shows at the famous Joe's Pub. Also, this spring Anita Cookie is back on the road with her traveling group, "Dangerous Curves Ahead: Burlesque On The Go-Go" for their premier west-coast tour!
