A Midsummer Night's Tease

To peel or not to peel, that is the question!

Join Nerd Girl Burlesque, Canada's premiere nerdlesque troupe in a burlesque exploration of the Bard through circus, drag, striptease, and more!

Nerd Girl Burlesque has been bringing their unique combination of geekery and burlesque to stages across North America since 2012, performing in cities such as New York, Ottawa, Detroit, and Los Angeles. The troupe is composed of Delicia Pastiche, Helen of Tronna, Loretta Jean, and Henrietta VIII.

Joining the women of Nerd Girl Burlesque are a cast of guest burlesque dancers, drag artists and circus performers each with their own take on the Elizabethan master. These include out of town headliners Baron von Styck (Montreal, producer, Bagel Burlesque Expo) and Gala Delicious (Chicago, winner Most Beautiful at the 2015 Great Burlesque Expo), circus arts daredevil Danger Boy, and nerdlesque favourites Betty Quirk and Dolly Monroe, as well as multi-disciplinary burlesque artists Dainty Smith and Saint Stella (2016 Burlesque Hall of Fame participant).
