Legendary Burlesque returns!
Bergamot Burlesque is excited to bring back our beloved annual event, Legendary Burlesque, which features a living burlesque legend as the headliner. The relaunch of Legendary Burlesque is coming May 11, 2024 and will feature the Grand Beaver of Canadian Burlesque, Judith Stein. Tickets are on sale now to see this incredible performer.
Judith Stein was a cash-strapped student in Eugene, Oregon in the 1970s until she finally joined the ranks of the strip tease. Starting out as a topless go-go girl, it was suggested she should become a stripper. The lure of more money, international travel and fabulous costumes was all the inducement Judith needed to fulfill her dreams.
From 1973-1990 two suitcases were her home. She performed throughout Micronesia, USA, Canada, and New Zealand until finally retiring and trading the bright lights of burlesque for the Northern Lights of British Columbia, Canada.
But, alas, there was no rest for the wicket as the saying goes. In 2012 Judith was rediscovered by the Burlesque Hall of Fame as the first Canadian Legend and with delight she began performing again. Judith was honored to be a subject in the film “League of Exotic Dancers” along with various podcasts, press and performances all with a side of saltiness and joy. She has also been mentoring performers with a side of truthful burlesque history.
She continues to revel and reveal as the Grand Beaver of Canadian Burlesque with great delight.
