With a keen curatorial eye, high production values, and a queer campy sensibility, Girlie-Q brings performance that titillates, entertains, and makes you think. Our shows have been in production since 2003, making them the among the longest-running in Chicago today. Featuring some of the edgiest burlesque, modern dance, live music, and variety performance in town, the Girlie-Q is the alternative to mainstream burlesque. The show mixes drag, striptease, dance, comedy and radical sexual art with "lowbrow" performance interests. They regularly dig up the strange, the bizarre and the fantastic for an unforgettable evening. Press for Girlie-Q "Straight audiences bored with vanilla strip tease will not be disappointed...If you like burlesque and you're not boring, check out a queer show. It's funnier, dirtier, and the main course is still mams and gams!" -Being Totally Sweet in ChicagoPress for Time Out Critic's Pick Metromix/Red Eye's Best Bets (for things to do that day)1/5/08, 5/10/08, 6/28/08, 10/11/08, 2/7/09, Metromix/Red Eye's Best Bets for Pride 2008 "...providing bawdy fun for a sophisticated crowd" The L Word, Metromix.com "My number one choice is Girlie-Q."

Bravo! …Highly Recommended" -Ray's Guide to Chicago Area Burlesque FOR THE STRAIGHTS: "One note about queer burlesque for the straight and uninitiated: the acts may sometimes have feminist overtones, but they still consist of sexy women (sometimes more than one!) taking their clothes off and should be anticipated more than feared."-Ray's Guide to Chicago Area Burlesque
