She delights in innocently portraying complex female characters and stories with new twists on happy endings, always weaving in the rich mix of joy, ennui, passion and quirks that make life so satisfying. Alongside her partner in crime, The Evil Hate Monkey, Trixie stars in the feature length documentary “Us Naked: Trixie and Monkey” which has won Best Documentary at the Coney Island and DocFeed Film Festivals.  Other awards include Burlesque Hall of Fame’s Best Burlesque Duo and Most Innovative. Trixie can be seen touring the world with cabaret and variety shows.

Perle was honored yet again as being crowned the first ever Queen of Burlesque at the New Orleans Burlesque Festival 2009. She also landed the #2 spot in the Top 50 Burlesque Performers Worldwide list in 2015. With a combination of glamour, seductive choreography, and stage presence, she receives a standing ovation whenever and wherever she performs.

Ray Gunn: “Watch Out when he shoots… It’s Ray Gunn!” Ray has been making audiences submit to his dirty imagination throughout dozens of cities nationally and internationally including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and The UK.

In 2013, Ray was crowned as King of Burlesque at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Vegas. A featured presenter at Burlycon in Seattle, he is quickly becoming known for his large menu of insightful burlesque and dance workshops. Trained in contemporary dance, acrobatics, capoeira, and pole dancing. Ray creates imaginative works of strip - tease art that show off his smoldering athletic ability, inspired choreography and unique artistic aesthetic. He creates imaginative, athletic, sexy and often avant-garde solo and group acts which helped him produce his own show, The Vertical SideShow- “A dark and unusual place where the gonzo and the sleekly sensual collide to take you on a journey through his imagination”.

Mister Gorgeous: Mr. Gorgeous has been charming audiences around the globe since 2009, with his comedic and charismatic approach to contemporary burlesque. He has become a frequent persona in NYC nightlife, working several iconic venues including The Slipper Room, Le Scandal, and Galapagos Art Space.
