This year Bergamot is bringing the graceful Gabriella Maze to the stage and adding a brunch twist at Lola's Room.
Founded by Infamous Nina Nightshade, Bergamot Burlesque has been bringing classic burlesque shows to the Pacific Northwest since 2009. In January 2012, Bergamot Burlesque featuring Dee Milo started a new passion and direction. An annual show featuring a different living legend each year. When asked if the ladies of yesteryear are still performing she responded: "Absolutely! The ladies who paved the way back then are still at it today and, man, do they look great doing it!"
This year Bergamot Burlesque brings once again a classic-styled burlesque show headlined by one of burlesque's bold and beautiful legends. The internationally acclaimed cast includes the legendary Gabriella Maze alongside local burlesque favorites Infamous Nina Nightshade, Angelique DeVil, Sophie Maltease, Sugar Kane, Sandria Dore, Hyacinth Lee, Miss Alex Kennedy, Claire Voltaire, Judy Patootie, Ivana Mandalay, bellydance by Elise and is hosted by the world renowned emcee, Vincent Drambuie.
