Miss Huney Bush - The Pick-Up Girl
Photo by POC Photo
Since graduating from the Kindergarten of Burlesque in 2008 (and again in 2009), Huney Bush has cleaned up stripper droppings in nearly every venue in Seattle! Her bending talents won her the “Perfect Pick-Up” title at the 2013 Seattle Burlesque Games. Although she has performed a handful of times, her true passion is exposing her derriere in the name of cleanliness. Sometimes clumsy, sometime sassy, sometimes not-really-sure-what-is-happening-but-always-sexy, Huney Bush is picking up what Seattle Burlesque is throwing down! Buuuuuuush!
Miss Huney Bush is on maternity leave from the show until 2015, but we can promise there will be plenty of talented kittens to fill in for her while she trades picking up stripper droppings for picking up after her baby!

Fosse Jack is a Seattle-based actor and dancer turned ecdysiast and emcee. He has appeared on stage with some of Seattle’s top burlesque talent, and owes much of his success to the encouragement and love of his fellow Emerald City Ecdysiasts. The rest he credits to the amazing artists and choreographers that have inspired him through his involvement (both on- and off-stage) with musical theatre. This Limelight Loverboy blends innocence, eroticism, class, cheek, and his own signature waggish charm into a playfully seductive, oft crowd-pleasing performance style.
Fosse Jack was the artistic producer of Jack & Wood Production and a founding member of the Puppet Burlesque Society. He recently appeared as a guest on the web series, “Sister Leigh Love”, is an original cast member of Burlesco DiVino: Wine in Rome, as well as a proud member of the BurlyCon Programming Committee.

Michaud Savage - Guitar
M. A. Savage, guitarist, meat in the lady sandwich; whisperer of whims and salver of sins, Seattlelite birthright extraditee. Loving plucker of pitches and vibrato itches, tuner crooner and groove gooner. Sweet apple honey cinnamon pie powerchords and crimson cherry tart lips murmur, with your eyes closed, one marriage of another's mammaric ecstasy; slinking in a theatre, in a thought. An auditorium. Your ass in a sweet. Your seat enthroned. Jewel encrusted applause, please, for the varieties of Mendel's peas that have brought us here today. The you you share in fulfilling this daily psychic dialectic through the burlesque of Western consciousness.
M.A. Savage also serves a a music technician in classical guitar, arrangements and orchestrations, is a classical guitarrist, tanguero, and has performed extensively through the Pacfic Northwest, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile. He collaborates with Paintings for Animals, Honey.moon.tree, and has a passion for chamber musics. For fun, M. rides bikes and hikes and runs and puns and meditations.
