Matchstick Merryweather, Producer, Director, and absolutely full of ridiculous ideas.
Matchstick Merryweather, Director of Tomfoolery (They/Them)
Multi-Award Winning Burlesque Performer
They’re sweet, spicy, and sometimes nicey. Following a fiery magician's assistant "mishap", Matchstick Merryweather found themself a young abandoned sideshow child aside a lonely desert highway with only a broken cassette tape of Kansas's 1979 album "Monolith" to provide companionship.
Today, "Matches" performs, produces, and directs for Whiskey City Burlesque. Using their background of theater, music, dance, flow arts, and overall "feminine mystique" (they are from the same city as Betty Friedan after all), they charm the pants off audiences. Only figuratively though, what kind of a person do you think they are?!
Matches enjoys infusing glitterblood into everyone they meet and hopes that others find as much joy, extreme self-acceptance, and ridiculous silliness as they do from the great art that is burlesque.
Such an innocent face, but what dark side does this angel have hidden? You’ll just have to see!
Bubbles LeTit (She/Her)
Blow a kiss to sweet Bubbles LeTit! With a wink and a smile, this burly babe will melt your heart and warm your loins. She’s bright-eyed, she’s perky, but don’t be fooled by the angelic face or petite frame. As a recovering “good girl”, Bubbles has spent the past decade tormenting lovers and specializing in the art of making others clutch their pearls. She’ll draw you in with a little booty shaking, but don’t step too close; this frisky girl can’t wait to burst your bubble. You’ll be back for more and singing her praises because after all, there is no angry way to say Bubbles!
What can we say? You will simply adore this wonderful woman the moment you see her.
Adora Braul (She/Her)
In the mood for a good old fashioned titillating, twerkilating treat? Then Adora Braul is your Whiskey City doll. Whether you've got a taste for a classic shimmy shake or something with a twist, she's got something on the menu for you. Adora's prowess as a performer includes unique choreography for solo and group dances to get your mouth watering. She is handy with classic burlesque props such as feathery fans, cracking whips, and twirling tassels. Adora's other interests include everything campy and corny, bare knuckle pillow fights, and sprinkles! Surely she's the sweetest kick in the teeth you will ever meet.
This sinfully, skilled, seductress will have your heart pounding the moment you see her. Her essence is sure to make even you feel a little evil inside.
Alexis Belle LaVita (She/Her)
"Beautiful Life" is what her name means, but Alexis Belle LaVita's life was anything but beautiful as a young girl. Separated from her American parents at an early age on a trip to the Italian Riveria, Alexis sought refuge with a group of gypsies. Initially, her blonde hair and emerald green eyes were a novelty among the group, but the novelty wore off due to the attention she received from the crowds, making her an outcast among the locals. Alexis had a gift of seduction and a clairvoyant nature. Eventually, she escaped her gypsy family and ended up on an isolated island in the Mediterranean Sea. It was there Alexis began having visions of her future...a flat land of tall corn and big buildings. She decided to follow her visions back to America where she made her way to the heartland. There, she discovered men were mesmerized by her beauty and captivated by her spellbinding essence. Alexis found a safe haven in the Vaudeville circuit of Peoria where a group of fire eating, whip cracking, sensual dancers accepted her for who she was. It was Whiskey City Burlesque who picked her out of the pumpkin patches and made her their very own.
Penelope Piston (She/Her)
She’ll prompt your piston to fire over, and over, and over again. Precious Penelope is sure to put your engine in overdrive.
Penelope Piston is a proper princess with a penchant for peafowl in public. No, not like that, you perverse patron of the arts! Her most popular performances prove to be promenading and perambulating, some might even say prowling across the stage. Privately she's a professional penis pleaser, but only the most polite persons are permitted the pleasure. Patrons presenting a presence lacking pleasantness will promptly receive passionate punishments, sadly not of the persuasion they prayed for. Therefore please present proper praise for this pinnacle of perfection, Penelope Piston!
He will make you want to take your clothes off just as quickly as he can, Josie is a master of seduction.
Josie Wails (He/Him)
Josie Wails is that special kind of sexy that blurs the lines of gender conformity. He's completely at home in or out of both skirts and trousers. He loves the freedom of neo-burlesque which allows him to be anything in the moment. Josie is a quiet person; no really. He relies heavily on costumes and movements to convey most of his messages to an audience in place of actually speaking. But true to his contrary nature sometimes Josie sings.
Is it icy in here or is it just us? Fear not, Boudica Snow is here to warm your tits and trousers with her tantalizing tricks.
Boudica Snow (She/Her)
Director of artsy-fartsy misfits
Producer, Director
Boudica Snow is a buxom bombshell with a bouncing booty that will blow your brain. She’s a multi-award-winning BurlyPicks burlesque beauty. Just like her namesake, Boudica is not afraid to drag the bodies of unfortunate men who didn’t meet up to her expectations. Please give a happy hello, to the female Romeo, the sexy Scorpio and the hoe of this show, Miss Boudica Snow!
Robin Longfellow (They/Them)
Dare not mistake their shape and making quite
For they're the shrewd and knavish sprite
Called Robin Longfellow! Tis he!
That frights all maidens, gents alike with villainy
None compare in wit and spite
This is that merry wanderer of the night
They'll jest to all and make you smile
By flit and flounce and wink beguile
Beware, dear aud'ence, I plea take care!
There n'er been a trickster can compare
To Robin Longfellow, debonair
Juka Jupiter from Merigold, (She/Her/They)
Juka: An origin for the term “juke” which means to rise up and do things your own way.
Jupiter- a cosmic chuckle and then some.
Merigold, Mississippi - Synonymous with one of the last rural Juke joints in existence.

Jester Lasair (He/She/They)
Jester Lasair, the fire flinging extraordinaire, has been hyper-fixated in the movement arts since they appeared in this material plane.
Some say he’s from the Fae Wild, others say she’s from Hell, but one thing is for sure, they will certainly put you under their spell.
With a lifetime spent playing with fire, flow and martial arts, stage combat, juggling, acting, stand up comedy, and literally anything else they magically stumble into. Jester is sure to bring the heat and light the stage up with their presence.
Johnny Gossamer (He/Him)
Official MC of Whiskey City Burlesque, and unofficial “joke for every situation” technician.
Johnny is ready to kick off a show and make us all forget that we wore mis-matched socks this morning.
After winning numerous awards for her craft, Nefaria is sure to whip you into liking her whether you’re ready or not.
Nefaria Siren (She/Her) - Guest Performer
Our next performer is a bodacious bombshell with the body and brains to back it up. Her skills with a whip have landed her in the Guinness Book of World Records, many international television appearances and has terrified audience members who were dumb enough to sit in the front row. A man once told her she could earn a hundred bucks for a trick, and since then she’s been busting out impressive feats that blow the minds of the masses. This mysterious, mystifying, mistress spent several years slaving away to get her masters degree in fluid dynamics; discovering that didn’t fully satisfy her, she decided that it would be better to stick hot, oily, flaming, props in her mouth for the entertainment of others. Now this dancer, fire performer, and whip artist has spent nearly 20 years pulsating, undulating, and oscillating, her fantastic figure to convince people to hand her money. As a nefarious member of Whiskey City Burlesque and an instructor at Be You Fitness, she loves to tell others what to do; and if you want to be a sub, I mean a student of hers, I'm sure she'd be happy to whip you into shape. Get ready for an exhilarating, titillating, and invigorating performance from, Miss Nafaria Siren!
Annabelle Siren (She/Her) - Guest Performer

Growing bored of the wreckage she left in her wake, she joined forces with Nefaria Siren to take the modern world by storm, appearing on television and teaching dance around the country. This sexy siren is here to lure you out of you seats to find out what pearls of wisdom are really in that ocean deep.
She’s sure to have you tied up within minutes. Annabelle is truly a Master on stage.
