2nd Annual Charm City Burlesque & Variety Festival

The second annual Charm City Burlesque and Variety Festival runs Friday, September 27 through Saturday, September 28 at Baltimore’s Creative Alliance, home to some of Baltimore’s best burlesque and variety shows.

Burlesque is many things. It is sexy. It is sly. It is seductive. It shines a light on the morals and foibles of modern life and mocks them openly. In Baltimore, burlesque is all of those things, and it is also unabashedly weird, strange, dark, funny, and a little bit twisted. Baltimore’s burlesque and variety stages have always welcomed the different and the avant-garde. Baltimore marvels in the filthy, the strange, the strangely beautiful, and the sometimes questionable, and it makes it its own. The Charm City Burlesque & Variety Festival celebrates all.
