May 21st 2022 – Vancouver, BC – The York Theatre

Show Your Teeth is a large-scale one night only event that will see performers celebrate the strength and power behind the art of striptease. Twisted Tassels events are single-handily produced by All The Way Mae, a performer and producer with over a decade of experience including previous work on the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival board of directors. All The Way Mae aims to create equitable, fully transparent productions that celebrate performers from across communities.

The show is headlined by Mx. Pucks A’Plenty (Seattle), known as “The They Them Yas Queen of Burlesque”, “The Femme Daddy That Your Mother Didn’t Know To Warn You About”, and #17 on 21st Century Burlesque Magazine TOP 50 –Most influential burlesque industry figures of 2021. They are also the mastermind behind What the Funk?!, an all BIPOC burlesque festival based out of Seattle. Show Your Teeth showcases several performers from across Canada, offering a rare treat to local burlesque and drag aficionados.

In addition to a full set of 18 acts from 10 performers, Show Your Teeth has coordinated workshops to run out of Showpony Studios the weekend of the show. These workshops provide a unique opportunity to learn from two powerful queer performers with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Classes will be put on by both our headliner Mx. Pucks A’Plenty, and Belle Jumelles (Ontario) who has previously headlined twice for the Fierce Queer International Performing Arts Festival.

Tickets are available through The Cultch box office. Limited early bird tickets will be sold for $40, with general admission set at $50 (plus applicable service charges). Audience members will have the opportunity to participate in a raffle draw that benefits the Vancouver Black Therapy and Advocacy Foundation and purchase items from local vendors.

About Twisted Tassels:

The mission of Twisted Tassels is to showcase the full range of burlesque and drag performances and uplift performers who do not fit the status-quo. Productions celebrate diversity by showcasing performers of all sizes, abilities, genders, races, and neurotype, with acts that range across all styles from classic to comedic to political and everything in between. We hope to create events that inspire audiences to recognize the unique beauty and power within us all through the art of burlesque and drag.
