What was the DC Gurly Show?
The DC Gurly Show was a Washington, D.C. neo-burlesque revue associated with Kitty Victorian and a monthly queer performance scene. It mixed burlesque with character, humor, music, and cabaret rather than functioning as a conventional theater play. [DCist history](https://dcist.com/story/13/02/13/more-burlesque-than-a/)
Who founded the DC Gurly Show?
Kitty Victorian started the troupe after performing burlesque in D.C. venues, with the DC Gurly Show emerging around 2006. That places it in the early growth of the city's modern neo-burlesque scene.
What happens at a DC Gurly Show performance?
A show can include themed numbers, striptease, comedy, character work, and music, with performers building a revue rather than presenting one continuous plot. The format is burlesque cabaret, so the lineup and theme can change from month to month.
Where did the DC Gurly Show perform?
Its venue history included Phase 1 after earlier D.C. club appearances, and the show has been associated with the capital's queer burlesque scene. Because venues and schedules can change, check a current event listing before planning a visit.
