Tribe Of Fools Is EVOLVING Their Yearly Tradition With 9th Annual Holiday Burlesque

Fresh off of their Barrymore win for Evolving Theatre Company, Tribe of Fools is bringing back their incredibly popular Holiday Burlesque. In the spirit of their recent win at the Barryore's this year's theme is "Evolving." The acts will be bigger, sillier and more sophisticated.

Tribe's annual tradition provides a holiday themed show for adults. Artistic Director Terry Brennan came up with the idea because "the majority of the holiday season is so geared towards kids that sometimes adults feel overwhelmed and left out. We wanted to provide one night of holiday fun that's just for adults." Brennan also remarked, "We've been doing this burlesque for nine years now. In order to keep people coming back we've had to upgrade. This year we have some comedy acts, some traditional burlesque acts and even some professional circus acts. As usual there is lots of body positivity, LGBTQ themed acts and couple of circus acts that are, well, pretty wild."

The evening will be hosted by Nasty Frosty, played by burlesque veteran and Chlamydia Dell'Arte performer Meghann Williams. Nasty Frosty will act as the emcee over a roster of Tribe of Fools favorites including Dirty Santa, Sexually Anxious Rudolph, as well as a who's who of Philadelphia theatre including Lesley Berkowitz, Erin Carney, Leah Holleran, Franny Calter, Janice Rowland, Peter Danzig and Theatrical Trainer. The Tribe of Fools Holiday Burlesque will be a combination of songs, dance, comedy and of course, a little bit of skin. The focus of the evening will be a comic take on the holidays and relationships in a way that you can enjoy with your friends, but not with your kids.

All proceeds will go to fund Tribe of Fools' 2019 productions including Clown Sex-Ed, a comic take on the state of sex-ed in America featuring company members Tara Demmy and Zachary Chiero.
