The Columbus Burlesque Collective is a community for local performers with respect for the art of burlesque, each other and no hierarchy. This is not a troupe. We each provide unique perspectives and talents to promote the art of burlesque.
Currently membership is free for anyone that would like to be part of the collective. We welcome all types of performers (burlesque, comedy, music, drag, theater, spoken word/poetry, performance art) to join this collective and be at one with our mission of community, positivity, love, respect, creativity and joy - for the art of burlesque. Be passionately involved as a performer, with integrity and a drive to succeed. We are all individual artists, working hard to achieve success, but join the collective for support in our endeavors with like-minded and intended performers. Most cities across the country have a burlesque community, and many are adopting the idea of a collective. The collective provides a respectful haven, to bolster creativity and expression within the community. We welcome all races, genders, ages, sizes and LGBTIQ identified persons. The Columbus Burlesque Collective is an all inclusive group.
In exciting news, Miss Theresa has earned a place in the most prestigious burlesque festival in the world – The Burlesque Hall of Fame. She is the first Ohio-based performer to be part of this weekend – in 24 years. She will be performing as part of the Movers, Shakers and Innovators Showcase – people to be aware of in the worldwide burlesque community. Hundreds of applications were received, but only she and 12 others will perform. Miss Theresa will be performing at The Orleans Casino and Resort in Las Vegas on Thursday, June 5, 2014 as part of the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender – an annual event attended by thousands of international industry professionals, fans and media. www.burlesquehall.com

"If you yearn for an earlier era of tassels and semi-clad tush swaying, you need to embrace the lost art of burlesque. I attended a show called “It’s BOOB Thirty,” Friday October 18, an hour-long burlesque show that was free and held during Happy Hour at the Ace of Cups on north campus. ... The performers, each with their own unique theme and styles, recall the days when sex was titillating as opposed to in-your-face nasty."
