Bump and grind enthusiasts are invited to mark their calendars for the Texas Burlesque Festival 2025. The event will feature New Orleans' reigning Queen of the Tease, Jeez Loueez, along with Chicago Kings of Boylesque Bazuka Joe and Ray Gunn, and Las Vegas Legend Lovey Goldmine.
The festival will be hosted by Austin's own World Famous *BOB* on Saturday, Nikki Devaughn, and will include performances from local award-winning troupe Fat Bottom Cabaret. Over 40 performers, including tassel twirlers and queens and kings of the tease from across Texas, the US, and the world, are expected to participate.
"This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on," according to event organizers. Audiences are encouraged to engage with performers during their strip tease acts that range from classic glove and garter peels to comedic takes on pop culture icons. The event is billed as "THE burlesque event of the year."
