The Stage Door Johnnies (Chicago, IL) is the world's premiere all-male burlesque group. Performers Ray Gunn, Jett Adore, and Bazuka Joe give the audience a rare glimpse at a male twist on the historic art of striptease. Inspired by burlesque icons like Gypsy Rose Lee, Bettie Page and Sally Rand, the ‘Johnnies’ apply their masculine sex appeal to the concepts of the tease, surprise reveals, and tongue-in-cheek gimmicks.
The Johnnies have stripped their way across the country, shaking their stuff on the stages of Las Vegas, New York City, Montreal, Toronto, Denver, San Francisco, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Los Angeles. Their next stop? KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE! |
