Who are the three bears?
‘Actually, there are five bears in Bearlesque: Fred Bear – founder of the gang and Liza Minelli in his own fantasy world. Luke Bear – suave and sophisticated winner of the Bistrotheque Bear Beauty Competition this year. Simon Bear – fan of carnivals and classical burlesque, wants to run away to the circus! Justin Bear – all tattoos, teeth and personality. And our baby-cub, Dan Bear – the heart-breaking, blonde bombshell.’ What’s the difference between girl burlesque and boy burlesque? ‘Not a lot, as far as we’re concerned.

I feel that burlesque has no particular boundaries, we believe that if you love the way you look – no matter what size or shape – others will want you. There are mature and disabled performers hopefully coming to a cabaret stage near you soon. In Bearlesque we don’t recognise taboos, just challenges.’ D
