About our Special Guests:
The original Death by Chocolate, Ray Gunn combines acrobatics, capoeira and Chinese pole in his striptease arsenal with over 15 years of training and performance experience behind him. This sexual assault on your senses is the morning coffee of burlesque—he’s strong, black and keeps you going all day long. Ray Gunn is one-third of the only all-male burlesque group in Chicago, The Stage Door Johnnies, who won the Best Group at the 2011 Burlesque Hall of Fame showcase in Las Vegas.

Bazuka Joe is one third of The Stage Door Johnnies from Chicago ~ winners of Best Group 2011 at the Burlesque Hall of Fame and named in the top 10 performers in the world! Headlining at venues all over the world he routinely gives his mother a reason to wonder 'Where did I go wrong?' And just like his hometown's famous hot dog he's 100% pure beef pleasure (and too classy for ketchup!)

You've heard of Burlesque, you've heard of Boylesque, but you've never heard of BRO-LESQUE!  Jiggles McGee is the Midwest's Original Bro-lesque Performer.  Women want him, children want to grow up to be him, and men leave him feeling confusion mingled with shame and adoration. With a twist in every performance, Jiggles McGee is the man for everyone. Vote for Jiggles and he'll bring giggles.
