The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
8th annual Oregon Burlesque Festival hosting a lineup of over 40 performers, including Miss Nude Universe 1975: Tiffany Carter. The Oregon Burlesque Festival (ORBF) is proud to bring two dazzling days of shows to Portland, with a cast of performers from across the U.S. and Canada coming to perform at the historic Alberta Rose Theatre.
Headlining are the reigning 2022 Queens of Roses from Vancouver, BC, La Dame Derrière and The Lady Chiffon. La Dame Derrière is a potent mix of sensuality, soft curves, and bisexual angst. The Lady Chiffon has been performing with British Columbia's pre-eminent geeky theatrical and performance troupe, Geekenders, since 2019.
The Legend Headliner, Miss Nude Universe 1975: Tiffany Carter. Tiffany began her Burlesque career at the infamous Pink Pussycat in Hollywood, California.
The 2023 PNW features are both Portland powerhouses. Angelique DeVil is a bedrock contributor to Portland Nightlife and artistic culture. Satira Sin is a high-energy, high-kicking, singing, stripping sensation.
The Oregon Burlesque Festival is an annual celebration of theatrical performances that combine satire, comedy, dance, drag, and adult entertainment. This 2-show event showcases the best of an art form where performers defy social and gender norms. The Friday, September 22nd showcase features local and regional talent, with a few special appearances from past artists. Performers on Saturday, September 23 will compete in a jovial competition judged by a celebrity panel that includes previous winners, local icons, and a living legend from the Golden Age of burlesque. Titles awarded include “Most Iconic,” “Biggest Tease,” “Keepin’ it Weird,” “Stayin’ Classy,” “Most Comedic,” “Wild Card,”and the coveted “Queen of the Roses.” Past Queen of the Roses winners include Portland’s own glam-rock goddess Natasha Riot (2017), world-renowned performer and costumer J.Von Stratton (2015), the decadently dark performance artist Nox Falls (2018), and the Burlesque Hall of Fame’s freshly crowned 2023 Miss Exotic World: Samson Night (2019).
