Anita Cookie
(Performer)
Anita Cookie is dedicated to bringing quality burlesque to the masses, and she hopes to do this by always finding new and exciting ways to showcase jokes as well as jiggling bosoms. Along with Anita’s Underground, she co-produces a LIVE late night talk show in Williamsburg called The Night Cap, and she is the drunk in The Drunk ‘n’ Dirty Duo who can be seen monthlyat the Palace of Wonders in Washington, DC.
Anita Cookie is the most intoxicated - oops - I mean intoxicating pastie-donner this side of the Rio Grande. Sun-baked off the shores of the pacific, she has taken The Big Apple by storm and her love of tequila, being the product of those San Diego origins, is nothing compared to her insatiable hunger for cookies.
She is a character with the curves of Marilyn Monroe, the helium pipes of Betty Boop and the wit of Mae West. The Cookie drinks like Dean Martin, is usually involved in antics reminiscent of Lucille Ball, and in most cases her glitzy costumes seem to some how inevitably find there way on to the floor.
Anita’s bubbly voice and sultry dance moves have graced the stages of such fine New York and Brooklyn establishments as the Cutting Room, South Paw, Rafifi, Galapagos, BB King’s, Don Hill’s, Mo Pitkins and The Derby (LA).
When Anita’s not mesmerizing the masses she’s whipping up her Saucy Sweets! She makes cookies, hot sauce, decorative items and much, much more

Who's the kitten that puts the 'ooh' in Ooh La La and will have you purring for more? None other than Miss Gigi La Femme, of course. There's no slumber party, sock hop or shagadelic soiree that she can't handle. You can catch GiGI, with her sultry moves and scandalous sex appeal, every second Friday of every month starring in Wasabassco's Burlesque in the Living Room!

Kenny Law
(Performer)
Mr. Kenny Law comes to us from Sunset Park, Brooklyn, where he resides happily with his wife and popular burlesque performer Peekaboo Pointe. A tattoo artist, painter, rapper, writer, and eventual editor of New York City's oldest and now-defunct adult publication SCREW Magazine, Mr. Law is familiar with the bitter taste of failure. Our guest tonight has wasted at least 15 years of his life in a downward spiral of self-doubt and perpetual identity crisis. However, proclaiming his inefficacies a superpower, Mr. Kenny Law has turned his many disabilities into an asset. Today, Mister Law walks dogs for a living. It may be his life's calling. Be it dog walking, tattooing, painting or fucking, he is here tonight to prove that failure is fertile grounds for success.

Nasty Canasta
(Performer)
Burlesque baby Nasty Canasta wasn't born nasty, she's just drawn that way. The product of a brief tryst following a late-night card game between Sid Vicious and Carol Burnett, Nasty is old-school glamour at its most surreal. Her burlesque performances celebrate the vagaries of pop culture and the wicked sense of humor that makes it all bearable. Nasty can be found bumping & grinding, turning (magic) tricks, and fending off the advances of lascivious puppets at various unsavory locations throughout Brooklyn and NYC.

Scott Rayow
(Performer)
Scott Rayow has enjoyed performing since age eleven. Unfortunately, he's been performing since age four. His first pair of bronzed tap shoes are proudly displayed on his mantletop; he recalls "the bronze made it hard to dance but the tapping was real loud." Scott quickly put dance behind him to explore the varied worlds of pre-, grade-, and high-school theatre (often in that order) and subsequently spent his college years in the Tufts University Beelzebubs, where he wrote and performed comedy. As they were an a cappella music group, this caused occasional friction (lawsuit pending).
Leaving the comfort of an educational environment, Scott finally discovered the one true reward of performing: getting paid. He went on to forge a commercial acting career, providing voice work for ads, promos, documentaries, and animation projects (many of which aren't technically porn) and thoroughly enjoys selling excellent products and/or services to intelligent consumers... according to his agents at DBA.
When not shilling for the man, Scott still writes and performs comedy here and there.* In his spare time, he patiently awaits the arrival of his growth-spurt, and is working on the biochemical equations to actually produce a silk purse from a sow's ear.

Why do you think burlesque has taken off so much in the last few years?
