Screaming Chicken's Christmas Spectacular
Thursday December 17th & Friday December 18th @ The WISE Hall
A classic Burlesque show with a modern twist
Featuring
O’ Cum All Ye Playful
An original, one act Burlesque musical
This very naughty Christmas story, created and performed by Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society, tells the tale of Agnus Bumstick, a repressed office worker who discovers a healthy libido is an important part of the holiday spirit. The show is jam packed with bawdy song parodies, stunning dance numbers and live accompaniment by The Wet Spots.
Written by Melody Mangler, Directed by Violet Femme, Choreography by April O’Peel. Live Accompaniment by The Wet Spots.
With Performances From
Anastasiya Nikolaevna
‘The Minx from Minsk’
Anastasiya was recognized as a dance prodigy at the age of 9 and by 12 she had a full scholarship at one Eastern Europe’s top performing arts schools. After graduating Anastasia was expected to train with the Belarus National Ballet but she had another path in mind. She had become inspired by less traditional styles of dance and has spent the last three years travelling the world to learn and to perform more ‘provocative’ disciplines. She studied Cabaret in Berlin, Can-Can in Paris, Fan Dance in Shanghi and now she has come to Vancouver for Burlesque. This will be her first time performing in North America and we are very proud and excited to welcome her.
Flying Not Falling
Vaudevillian Clowns and Jugglers
It's choreographed chaos, it's musical madcappery, it's ... Flying Not Falling!
Flying Not Falling have entertained audiences around North America, with their unique blend of juggling, clown, and musical comedy.
Luciterra
Tribal Fusion Bellydance
The women of Luciterra have united with the intention of achieving grounded clarity through dance. Through performing, teaching and eternally learning, these women embody commitments to social justice, holistic health and art innovation. They dance an intensely feminine and edgy bellydance fusion of old world vocabularies with new school stylings, to create an effect that is elusive, powerful and compelling.
Dr. T & The Professor
Magic and Mayhem
Women’s clothing has been known to spontaneously disappear when these two are around. Dr. T and The Professor will be presenting some brand new magic featuring some of our favorite Burlesquers. This act is sure to dazzle and astound you!
And Musical Guests
The Wet Spots
Picture a husband and wife team from the golden age of comedy. Now picture them singing sweetly about threesomes and taking it in the ass.
Internationally acclaimed cabaret duo The Wet Spots (Cass King and John Woods) write the most elegant songs about sex that you will ever hear.

This campy necromance tells the tale of an innocent couple who stumble upon a remote graveyard and witness a horrific spectacle – a festival of the walking dead. Shirley and Bob soon discover that these damned souls not only walk, but dance for the enjoyment of the Emperor of the Dead and his cohort the Princess of Darkness. The Emperor passes judgment on all who dance and woe to the poor soul who displeases him. Before they are able to flee, Shirley and Bob are captured by the Mummy and Wolfman and forced to face their own judgment before the Emperor.

SHINE: A Burlesque Musical
Wednesday through Saturday, August 12-22 @ The Waterfront Theatre
formerly: By the Seat of Our Panties
A Burlesque Musical is a tassel-twirling original musical about an infamous burlesque theatre and the family of talented misfits who try to save it from demolition... or worse, respectability. This innovative collaboration between two award-winning companies combines the burlesque of Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society with songwriting from cabaret duo The Wet Spots.
At the crumbling but historic Aristocrat theatre, Shine Mionne and her chosen family of sexpots and misfits struggle to save the theatre from imminent gentrification in the guise of smooth-talking money man Richard Suit. Along the way Frankie, the newbie actor from out of town, and Grace, the dimpled graduate student who can't seem to keep her clothes on, are drawn into the vortex of life at The Aristocrat by a diva named Lulu. As Suit and Shine fight for control of the show, Lulu finds her leading-lady status jeopardized by Suit's meddling and a series of whirlwind affairs threatens to throw the impending opening into chaos.
Box Office @ 7pm, show at 8pm
