BenchPress Burlesque is a radical multi-gendered, sex-positive, queer-positive, feminist feast of political performance art! Along with their house band, The Tin Lizzies, BenchPress Burlesque presents an exciting array of skits that encourage and challenge their audience.
BenchPress Burlesque, which began in the Fall of 2005 in Saint Louis, draws their inspiration from the historical roots of burlesque as a variety show of political satire and class critique and aims to merge a contemporary feminist viewpoint with the sexy performance art of burlesque. They'll push the limits of your expectations and show you a tougher side of fishnets & corsets.
