The Cheesecake Burlesque Revue keeps audiences coming back for more! More laughs, more tease and more body confidence. The Cheesecakes are multiple award winners who have shimmied across stages in Las Vegas, Vancouver, Berlin, Seattle and Victoria to name a few. With influences from cult classics like Priscilla Queen of The Desert to Broadway favourites like Guys and Dolls to imaginative roller coasters like their original Cheesecakes In Space, these girls know how to put on the modern day show-stopper! The performers are as individual as the stars on the walk of fame - cute, geeky, rock n roll, classic, and elegant - audiences can't help but have a favourite or two or three! The Cheesecakes are known for their high energy acts, stand out performers, comedic timing, seductiveness and girl-next door accessibility.

Mentions in the Media

"Choreographed by Betsy Bottom Dollar (her motto: "The rockin' world ain't the only thing I make go 'round!"), the five-minute comic routine is danced to such ditties as the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Boney M's Nightflight to Venus and Klaatu's Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft. The Cheesecakers favourably impressed a sold-out, 500-capacity crowd at the Bell House, a former 1920s warehouse in Brooklyn. Scoring a slot at the New York Burlesque Festival was a coup for the Victoria company. The festival attracts premier burlesque troupes from around the world.

Victoria thought the Cheesecakes were so nice, they awarded them thrice! Not only did the lovely ladies of Cheesecake Burlesque win Favourite Performance Troupe, they also picked up the awards for Most Deserving of an M Award and Victoria's Next Big Thing. Between putting on saucy holiday performances, touring the island or representing at the Miss Exotic World pageant down in Las Vegas, 2008 was definitely the year of the cheesecake. Just keep those underboobs covered, ladies!

"The Cheesecake Burlesque Revue was honoured to be the only Canadian troupe invited to participate (they auditioned by videotape) at the international event, Miss Exotic World... Kaboodle and Hard figure their revue is doing pretty darned well for an ensemble less than two years old."

"Stripped to their pasties, the likes of Ricky Hard, Rosie Bitts, Fawn Fatale, Miss Champagne Sparkles, Midori Colada and MC Kitten Kaboodle held an attentive audience captivated for 90 minutes...A highlight from the burlesque show, besides the cheesecake dessert and cheesecake martinis served beforehand, was the show's audience participation."

"Every one of them was curvy - not a protruding hip bone, rib or breast implant in sight - and the crowd loved them. In the world of skeletons Paris Hilton and the Olsen twins, it's refreshing to see women who look like you do... Hopefully, they'll have a return engagement with Nanaimo soon."
- Melissa Fryer / Nanaimo Bulletin / July 31st 2007

"The Cheesecake Burlesque Revue encompasses comedy, audience participation and music in their acts. Mixing the traditionally parodic [sic] elements with modern pop culture references, the troupe updates the style without losing the original spirit."
