Burlesque Calendar
Performance in the Time of Uncertainity
My listing of “live,
in person” burlesque and related cabaret, circus, variety and vaudeville events
in the New York area has gone dark until during the current crises. A number of
individual performers and troupes have gone online to offer virtual
performances and complete shows. With the rising up during this time pandemic,
some have gone on hiatus or redirected to fundraising. I will continue to list those events of which
I become aware:
Upcoming Virtual Burlesque & Related Shows
Check out the Virtual Entertainment
group on FaceBook for the latest notices.
Applications are now
open for VHoF
– the 2020 Virtual Burlesque Hall of Fame Showcases
In light of current events the annual Weekender
in Las Vegas is being reimagined and will take place virtually over the month
of August 2020. UPDATE: Application
deadline extended – apply before July 13,2020.
Make sure you
have activated one (or more) of the online payment apps beforehand (PayPal,
Venmo, CashApp, etc.) so that you can tip
appropriately. Also, be sure to check
out the social media presence/websites of your favorite performers and groups
to see what they are planning in this time of uncertainty. The New York School of Burlesque
has shifted to online classes in the interim. A number of performers are
offering exercise, stretching, sketching, go-go, makeup and other classes as
well. Many of our favorite venues and
their staffs are hurting as well (among others, the Slipper Room, Nurse Bettie,
and DROM have launched crowdfunding efforts).
This list is far from complete and is subject to change as schedules can change and technical issues may crop up. Check any links beforehand for last minute schedule changes and ticket/cover charges. I’m from Brooklyn so I’ve listed the NYC start times. I plan to update this listing weekly so please message me (via e-mail, FB or IG) with info or updates about shows at least a week in advance.
