A tongue in cheek variety show, paying tribute to 1920's, right through to 50's American style burlesque comedy and striptease performances. But there's a twist... this revue has a distinct South African flavour. It's a fun journey through a variety of genres and styles of performance from comedy, live song, ballet, drag, and of course, striptease.

It is a collaboration between the notorious and Johannesburg "Boylesque" troupe and Cape Town based burlesque superstar Golden Delishas, who has recently returned from performing at the Paris Burlesque Festival. Stanimir Stoykov is a multi talented film/theatre/image maker and boylesque performer, who has collaborated with some of South Africa's finest talents on various creative projects. His underground queer films, which have screened locally and abroad, feature Broadway star Amra Faye Wright ("Chicago"), disco diva Tamara Dey (Flash Republic), multi-award winning actor Robert Whitehead ("Isidingo") and many more. More recently Stanimir and his partner in creative crime, multi-award winning actor/singer/dancer Sibu Radebe, created the well received theatre project "Boylesque", which has been performing steadily throughout 2013 at various venues in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town.

Golden Delishas studied and performed other dance forms for over 10 years before she took to burlesque and discovered a love for big feather wings and most importantly, the art of strip-tease. Her unique presence and power endlessly fascinates and is appreciated by spectators locally and abroad. A truly delectable vision of undraped loveliness, she is known for her feminine fearlessness, her raw allure of passion and nostalgia and her unashamed honesty in seduction. 

Audience Responses

The one star rating is for golden delishas's performance. The rest of the show was tasteless - particularly when calls for Xmas donations were made - and i found the perfomances to be unprofessional (a drunk MC is not entertaining - especially not for R130). Overall, a disappointing and expensive show - guest of Tamarin

Love love loved the show! Easy Dora was a great hostess! And we particularly loved the boylesque. We had dinner beforehand so all in all a great night out! Thank you!

I loved the show. It was such good fun. And the venue is awesome. It was the first time I've been there.

Very very funny, well written and brilliantly acted. Excellent! Will definitely recommend when it comes on again in January Ruth

Loved the show!

Tangibility: good location, theatre, costumes, lighting, sound and audience interaction. Responsiveness: Started on time which is great, communication with the customer is good Empathy: moving my booking was done good, good all round Reliability: the entire show was entertaining as described in the write up. Assurance: Good as the write up matched the performance In general: all round good performance, a break from the normal theatre productions commonly shown, will definitely do it again thanks

HI, the show last night was cancelled, I am expecting to have two seats for the show tonight instead.

First night - a few slip ups, but nothing serious. ;-) The homoerotic take on Kurt Darren's Kaptein is brilliant! HAHAHA
