ANASTASIA VON TEASERHAUSENAnastasia Von Teaserhausen is one of the newest performers on the burlesque scene, but she's taken to it perfectly as she has studied under some of the best performers in L.A. and has already performed at MONDAY NIGHT TEASE and VICTORY VARIETY HOUR. She also may have the longest name in burlesque [citation needed]. Beyond her performances, she is a maker of custom corsets and accessories. Tonight she brings to the PEEPSHOW MENAGERIE stage her interpretation of one of the Mouse House's princesses. http://www.myspace.com/pinkfouffy |
MISS ANGIE CAKESMiss Angie Cakes has been performing in night clubs from East to West Coast since the late 1990's. By day, she's a Fashion Designer for a local clothing company in Los Angeles. At night, the stage is her second home. She also makes her own costumes and accessories and will be launching her very own line soon. This little cookie loves all things sweet, (especially cake!). She's a cupcake cutie who spreads her frosting where ever she goes. With just 2 cups of sugar, a little spice, & a pinch of glitter, she'll bake up the hottest show in town! And in this show, you just might want to add 2 spoonfuls of sugar to that cup. Catch her quick before she flies away, umbrella in hand. http://www.myspace.com/missangiecakes |
ANNA BELLSAnna Bells first struck the Burlesque scene as half of The Fishnet Floozies back in the early to mid 2000's. Their talents brought them both to the Exotic World stage as well as appearing in the burlesque movie BROAD DAYLIGHT directed by John Michael McCarthy (Teenage Tupelo, Superstarlet A.D.). Until last year, she co-produced the annual burlesque holiday show "JESUS CHRIST: A HOLIDAY BURLESQUE REVUE." After taking much of 2008 off, she's back in her burlesque heels with force and plans to bring you her interpretation of a different side of the park...or should that be the other side of the park that we don't often think about. http://www.myspace.com/annabells |
AVA GARTERAva Garter is here to preserve and carry on the tradition of classic Hollywood glamour and burlesque with impeccable style and beauty. Trained by world-renowned Catherine D'lish and Dita Von Teese. Her outstanding performances have been seen on stages around the world from Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, Paris, and Tokyo. Liz Goldwyn (director of the burlesque documentary Pretty Things) says "Ava Garter is a first class performer, a broad in the best sense of the word and in the tradition of the great stars of the Golden Age of Burlesque. With deep respect for her craft, she brings a sensuality to the stage that is lovely to admire." Ava is a big fan of the theme park we are lampooning and plans to light up the stage with one of her favorite characters! http://www.avagarter.com |
DAHLIA DeLUSTDahlia DeLust has been missing from our stage for a while and we've certainly missed her. Known to her friends as Voodoo Dahlia, she's been teasin' and peelin' since 2006 with the OC Underground Burlesque Society and is always shakin' her way to a burlesque stage near you! She is known for her Voodoo Doll act and her Raven act which she performs in seven and a half inch ballet heels, but she'll be bringing you an act dedicated to the working women of America. No, not THAT kind of working woman, but the kind that toils almost thanklessly using good ol' American know-how to get the job done! Peepshow Menagerie is very happy to have her back for her 6th show with us! On our stage for this show she will be experimenting with the many curious effects of mushrooms. http://www.myspace.com/dahliadelust |
FEVER BLISTERFever Blister is a former club-kid & Go Go Gal turned "ENTERTAINER EXTRAORDINAIRE". An Unconventional conventionalist, don't call her a PIN-UP please. She is too heavy to hang on the wall... She isn't a model, she considers herself a personality! She believes in ambitious exploitation of her female assets... Her specialty is her own take on BURLESQUE ENTER*TEASE*MENT. Not only is she a burlesque performer, she's a producer of shows for the ANIMAL charity she founded - PAWS FOR A CAUSE in L.A. & also the producer of The BANG! BANG! Burlesque Show. She's a clothing & costume designer, sock rocker, jack-off of all trades, sex symbol, scavanger of used goods, former queen of the Cleveland scene now rocking out in Bob Barker's guest house in Burbank, California. A Voluptuous Blood Sucker, Volcanic Orgasmic Song Bird, Head stomper, Pastie twirler, Consumer of fine sparkling water, Candy advocate/enthusiast/addict and Tattoooed to the 9th power. The only fever you'd want to catch, she is Fever Blister. Fever will not only be performing her dizney inspired act onstage, but she will be sharing the stage with Josie Bunny in an act that'll give you a big glowing grin. http://www.myspace.com/feverbeaver |
JOSIE BUNNIEShe's got "Curves, Curls and Baby Blue Eyes!" Josie Bunnie is a burlesque performer, occasional nude model, and confirmed nudist who loves being creative and artistic. She has performed at El Cid with the Victory Variety Hour & Schmutzig, 3 Clubs with the Monday Night Tease, Mr T's Bowl and The Scene club with Burlesque-a-go-go, in the live Camp Burlesque show, and other various shows. She is a student of Kitten De Ville, Augusta (AKA Penny Starr Jr.), Jewel Of Denial, Lux La Croix and Vixen Violette. She is a very bubbly person who likes to socialize and meet new people. She knows what she's got and knows how to use it, as they say. She also says she loves being in front of a camera and playing with her kitty cats. Speaking of kitties, she'll be performing the part (or would it be A part?) of a particularly famous kitty in a duo-act with with Fever Blister. http://www.myspace.com/missjosiebunnie |
KIMBERLEE ROSEHere is another great performer who has been absent from our stage for far too long. Kimberlee Rose is known as "The Muppet of Burlesque." Her acts are as animated as any puppet show (more so, actually) and filled with energy, even when she slows down. A student of Miss Exotic World 2002 Kitten De Ville, she embraces the silly and fun side of burlesque performing and her routines are sure to leave a smile on your face by the time she leaves the stage. She has performed for Shimmy & Shake, Burlesque-A-Go-Go, Shadow Circus, Buckingham Burlesque, Tiki Invasion, and more. She's even opened for The English Beat and Cherry Poppin' Daddies. She has produced her own show; Slumber Party Slaughter and was the featured performer at the Monday Night Tease "Muppet Of Burlesque Show" and our critically acclaimed Lynch themed show "Beneath The Surface". This will be Kimberlee's 6th appearance at Peepshow Menagerie and will be bringing what many people consider to be their favorite ride to after-life on stage! http://www.myspace.com/thekimberleerose |
MIMI LeMEAUXThis San Diego Native has been headlining shows from the US to Europe starting back in 1995. MiMi has been featured in several Burlesque movies and documentaries shown by AMC, CBS and HBO such as Broad Daylight and Camp Burlesque, as well as gracing the pages of numerous international magazines. She has even been lucky enough to tour the world with the band The Damned. With great love for the Tiki, she is performing one of her signature acts, paying tribute to a certain magical Tiki Room...Burlesque style! http://www.myspace.com/mimilemeaux |
RED SNAPPER"Sass, class and a black girl's ass" is only one of many ways to describe this performer. She brings with her a very impressive pedigree. She has studied pole dancing with Aphrodite Strip-N-Pole for two years. She's also had the amazing opportunity to study burlesque with several incredible performers: Miss Indigo Blue, Jo Boobs, Lux LaCroix, Jewel of Denial, Lili Von Schtupp, Vanity Flair, Scarlett Letter and Penny Starr, Jr.. She recently finished acting in a play called "Pin-Up Girls" (directed by Andrew Moore) in a role for which the L.A. Weekly called her "Robust And Sassy." She's great and one of the nicest people you could meet, but on this night don't leave any of your finely coated pets with her. http://www.myspace.com/ms_red_snapper |
VENUS DeMILLEThe Deity Of Desire is reborn! She has come to Earth as Burlesque Artist Venus De Mille, crowned "Legend In The Making" at the Miss Exotic World 2005 Pageant. Mere mortals are held spellbound by her heavenly body and dazzling performances which combine the glamour of Hollywood with the temptation of striptease and the bluster of a good old bump 'n'grind earning her the nickname "Weapon of Man's Destruction". Emerging from a mad scientist's laboratory (as opposed to the usual half shell), Venus adapted her lofty self to portraying a range of earthy vixens. Her accordion skills are unparalleled, and whether she's serenading the audience while shedding flimsy garments, rappelling from the rafters, or transforming before your very eyes into a ball of flame, she always envelops the crowd in preternaturally supreme theatrical experience, continuously reducing human spectators to helpless piles of rubble with a mere glance. The Divine One's own costume designs were so spectacular, that though he preferred to see her unclothed, Zeus himself was inspired to bestow upon her a Master's Degree in Theater. But Venus can be benevolent as well as meddlesome. In addition to costuming many of your favorite burlesque starlets, she has been sharing her costuming expertise with other mortals for several years now, teaching Burlesque Costume Classes at Costume College (Van Nuys), Stiletto (Redlands), and Tease-O-Rama (San Francisco.) She also donates her time and efforts to various local charities. Venus has graced the stage at such diverse events as The Velvet Hammer Burlesque, Tease-O-rama, The Miss Exotic World Pageant, The Victory Variety Hour, Margaret Cho's Sensuous Woman, and many others. Venus, having once been rendered tragically armless, knows the importance of having one's limbs properly clothed. Thus, she has unveiled her own line of luxuriously embellished gloves under the name: "Gloves By Venus" http://www.venusdemille.net |
VERONICA YUNEThis 5 foot 2, bundle of dynamite is 22 years old and finally felt ready to reveal her fresh young character in October of 2008, for a debut performance at the Monday Night Tease. Veronica also took part in a performance for LA Burlesque's A Tribute to Bettie Page show in January of 2009. She is an L.A. based, highly enthusiastic performer with a charming personality and baby face. She's currently a full time student working towards her BA in Theatre. Veronica splits her time between her studies and the world of burlesque. She loves performing for a live audience and now she's all yours...your Bedtime Story wish come true. This will be Veronica's 2nd performance with Peepshow Menagerie. http://www.myspace.com/unyfish |

Hosted by DIZZY VON DAMN!Dizzy Von Damn! is an experiment gone horribly awry- she's what happens when you mix the genes of the lovely Bettie Page with those of kitschy-eccentric Liberace; she's proof that science can be sexy...and weird. As Miss Viva Las Vegas 2008, she can be seen in the 2010 LA Burlesque Calendar and she has performed across the country- not to mention performing regularly at PEEPSHOW MENAGERIE, MONDAY NIGHT TEASE, and producing her own show, UNCOMMON BURLESQUE at the Commonwealth Lounge. She enjoys pineapples and space, and believes that the truth is out there. This will be the 2nd year in a row she has hosted our Burlesqueland! show. http://www.dizzyvondamn.com |
