Bawdy’s Friends & Lovers

  • "Bawdy Bawdy Ha Ha is not a show to forget, and each of the performers certainly brought their all to the stage. Everyone in the audience, from first-time burlesque viewers to vaudeville veterans, were able to find something new, unique, and dazzling in this show."

  • "Bawdy Bawdy Ha Ha brings many working artists and writers together to make burlesque; I love their practices and what they have to offer when workshopping routines. I have much to learn from them regarding classic costuming [and] costuming choices that lend themselves to burlesque dance. Most of all, their practices and performances have greatly inspired me to bring clear storytelling and a sense of poetry into my burlesque choreography."
