About our debut performers:
Fancy Chance: Hilarious, glamorous, and exuberantly irreverent, the diminutive Fancy Chance is the undisputed comic spectacle of the UK burlesque/variety/vaudeville circuit and the best tassel twirler east of the Atlantic. Hailing from a background of cabaret, theatre and performance art, in 2001 she was brought into "nouveau burlesque" by the infamous Miss Indigo Blue, founding member of BurlyQ: A Queer Cabaret. Fancy's goal is to perform acts that dazzle and delight with comic characters and satire to the max whether goose stepping as Kim Jong Il or demurely (with a wink) stripping down to a tasseling sensation!
Fancy performs on stages throughout the US, Europe and is the present art director of BurlyQ. She's produced and directed the sell out show "BurlyQ Revue" in 2005 and "BurlyQ Pageant" in 2006. She is a member of the Fire Tusk Pain Proof Circus clowning around with the freaks and continues to develop her own infectious mixture of comedic vaudeville and ecdysiast entanglements.

From Simone De La Getto:I started my performance career as a member of The San Francisco Burlesque Troupe back in 1996...Joined The Cantankerous Lollies in 1998 and then founded Harlem Shake Burlesque in 2003. I have performed at various venues/shows including but not limited to: The Great American Music Hall-SF Bimbo's-SF The Va Va Voom Room-SF The Sensuous Woman-NYC/SF Le Boudior-Montreal Miss Exotic World-Helendale/Las Vegas New York Burlesque Festival-NYC Tease-O-Rama-SF Victoria Theatre-SF Femme Conference-Seattle/SF Brown Derby-LA
