Little Motown Hailing from Detroit, the "heat wave lighting up the night," Little Motown, began bumping and grinding as soon as she reached the Big Apple in 2011. She quickly won over the hearts and groins of fans and fellow performers in NYC and around the country, performing both neo and classical burlesque. She's known for her ass and antics, which have delighted audiences at The Slipper room, Coney Island, Webster Hall and other NYC hotspots. She's performed at the New York Burlesque Festival and the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. http://littlemotown.com/ She's half of the hot new duo, Lil Bunz, grabbing NYC by the balls since September 2012. They're silly, super hot and a little mischievous. Their tagline says it best; "we'll fuck with you.” https://www.facebook.com/LilBunzBurlesque Nasty Canasta Internationally-renowned neo-ecdysiast Nasty Canasta is frequently hailed as a genius of the contemporary burlesque scene. A "burlesque queen" (The NY Times) and Runner Up at the 2010 Miss Exotic World Pageant, Nasty is host and producer of Naked Girls Reading NYC, a regular performer with Wasabassco, and was an original co-creator of Pinchbottom Burlesque. She spent the summer of 2010 as a snake charmer and contortionist with the world-famous Coney Island Circus Sideshow in Brooklyn, NY. A full-time burlesque performer, producer and costumer since 2004, Nasty draws on her years of experience in theatre to create acts and shows that combine tease, humor, and spectacle. Best known for her 'burlesques on burlesque’ - subtle and surprising twists on classic striptease – and equally at home with classic tease and contemporary pop culture, her numbers range from the sublime to the silly, and have been a favorite with audiences around the world. http://nastycanastaburlesque.blogspot.com/ http://nakedgirlsreadingnyc.blogspot.com/ Mary Cyn Miss Mary Cyn is a classically trained actor who takes off her clothes in bars.
