“A mentor once surprised me with this Winnie the Pooh costume because it was a nickname of mine. He wanted to inspire me to create something…and here we are today.”

"We started RAWR because we really wanted to do a Monty Python show. So we decided to team up and create a burlesque empire from there. We also have a cult classics show in the works—we’re all about atypical nerdlesque."

“RAWR! is playfully quirky burlesque; it’s anything goes, and all about fun. And even though we’re in a divey bar, we’re giving quality acts. We motivate performers to bring their A-game.”
Cheeky Lane, age “unlisted”, burlesque performer; Prospect Park, Brooklyn
"I use a very modern song, but invoke classic burlesque with fan use. As neo as my acts get, I like paying homage to the classic style because it’s the reason we’re here. Everything has been done, but it's nice to do my reinterpretation of things for my taste and to add my contribution.'
