A note from the production team

Welcome All

After three long years we are pleased to present the Queen City Burlesque Expo Weekender, "A Sensational Vaudeville Affair", formerly known as LUST & Burlesque.


What initially started as a one night extravaganza featuring some of Canada's top performers, has turned into a five day event including people from around the world. What was originally a one-woman project has become a large team involving passionate Kootenay members jumping in as social media gurus, sponsorship managers, cast & crew support, stage hands, vendor coordinators, a media team, and so on. 


What was once an out of pocket passion project with a few generous believers, has become a gigantic weekend of art, entertainment, and learning opportunities supported by the Columbia Basin Trust, Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, The Salmo District Arts Council, Queen City Cruise, and several more Kootenay businesses with wonderful enthusiasm. 


Finally, without you, as audience members, none of the above would matter. By coming together like this and supporting this wacky, fascinating, sparkly world, you are allowing artists of various backgrounds and methods of expression to break free of the social constructs that define what "art" and "beauty" is.


From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for joining us.
