festivalReview by Altohio.com for The Ohio Burlesque Festival
""I witnessed the dazzling spectacle on Friday, August 5th, the second night in a three day long festival, and I would argue dollar for dollar it had to be the best show in Cleveland that night (and of the entire weekend).

Friday night was hosted by the witty Ken Schneck, who had me rolling around laughing in between acts, simply by exuding his enthusiasm, observational humor, and obvious love for the performers and the show." - Continue reading

Review by Altohio.com from the Show Nerdlesque
*Aside from all the glamour, talent, and tons of rhinestones that graced the Beachland Ballroom stage, another aspect of the show really hit me in a profound way. All of the burlesque dancers were different body types and, both as a woman and a person who appreciates good art, I found that refreshing. Sin explained about the troupe’s body inclusive and body positive attitude, “We fight a lot with the fact that people do not find female form in general sexy. I needed to showcase women of all sizes, colors, sexual orientations, because they all have a story…Everybody has a type and a fetish and not everybody is the same.” *- Lisa AltOhio.com
