This February we have a special treat as part of
The Great New Zealand Burlesque Festival & Expo and in collaboration with
The Harem Honeys Burlesque Troupe we will have international burlesque sensation JO "BOOBS" WELDON!!!
All the way from New York City - birthplace of all Dr. Sketchys. We are so excited that we are not only shouting her name but also using three exclamation marks next to each other - a first for our branch.
Jo is an incredible woman, and a total inspiration. She has been on the burlesque scene for yonk-a-doodles (do you like our avoidance of actual research) and has been brilliant at sharing knowledge, supporting the performance community and working hard. She is the saucy headmistress of
The New York School of Burlesque, she wrote the
Burlesque Handbook - literally, and she maintains a
beautifully insightful blog about all things burlesque. She rocks our sock off and we are delighted to have her.
We will also be joined by two sumptuous Harem Honeys: the ethereal and exotic
Athena Di Lure and the utterly delightful
Ruby Smooch. What a treat!
