Brolesque?!?
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
If you haven't made it out to our Rembrandt burlesque shows, you may not have seen our special guest execute his one-of-a-kind burlesque act. Mr. Danny-Boy, DFW's first male burlesque stripper/performer, takes the stage at our vaudevillian-burlesque revue on Saturday nights at Rembrandt's Dutch Pub. Though burlesque doesn't dictate either male or female in description (as burlesque was originally a variety show of novelty acts, actors, comedians, and dancing girls), in the modern revival of burlesque, boylesque is the term used to refer to male burlesque dancers and strippers and male version of burlesque.
However, our Danny-Boy has coined his own term for the modern male burlesque performer in this revival…"brolesque." Never one to take himself seriously, and offering a hysterical & entertaining number we're proud to showcase, we'll let him call himself whatever he likes! So…brolesque it is!
We'll be back with more info about Danny-Boy, & his take on burlesque & performing.
"Burlesque" a little hard for you to handle, and not sure you're ready for "boylesque" or "brolesque?" Not to worry! Our newest weekly show opening at the end of April, Sugar Moonlight: A Classic Burlesque Revue, keeps the boys in the band, and the girls on the stage! Danny-Boy will be back behind the sax, playin' some swing & blues in the Kittens' house band, the Shish Boom Band!
