Danny Dee (Dan Derkson) hosted The Voix-de-Ville show in a suit and underwear. This show offers a chance to performers to take part in what I would describe as an adult talent show with a $100 cash prize for the winner (and fun games for the crowd too).

Music with La Mécanique

La Mécanique brought me back to the 90’s with their industrial-type rock. This underground band got the show going with a lot of Energy.

Comedy with Kate Conner

Kate Conner  tells it as it is. She’s extremely funny and after doing stand up for three years, knows her best jokes and how to deliver them. It was a great set with lots of edgy sex jokes, that got a huge laugh from the crowd, time after time. If you enjoy laughing the sometimes-funny side of life as a wife, mother, and pet owner, come see Kate. She’s sure to make you laugh hysterically.

Burlesque with Miss Meow

Miss Meow is a crowd pleaser and she was offered many bouquets in celebration of her birthday. A new player in the Montreal burlesque scene, she started getting noticed by Stage Kittening with Acme Burlesque and the Sublimes Rondeurs (Montreal’s only plus size burlesque troupe!) and by hostessing at the Montreal Burlesque Festival and the Grand Burlesque Show. She began performing after following a class with Lady Josephine and BonBon Bombay.  Miss Meow caught the attention of the crowd with her slow, elegant show, and was runner up for Voix-de-Ville. When she’s not out astonishing the world of burlesque as Miss Meow, the mild mannered Yael Perez is a leader in the world of plus size women, and can be found organizing events HERE.

Music with Claire Porter

Strong vocals from Claire Porter, who delivered moving music from the heart without the help of her Stouts, and she did it very very well on her own if you ask me. Look out for this one…

Acrobatic Act with Miss Firefly

Miss Firefly played with balls all night. She made them spin. She made them glow.

Comedy and Advice with The Love Doctor

Fill out a card asking for a relationship advice and the quick witted Love Doctor (Paul Ash) uses his improv skills to offer a useful and hilarious answer. It’s like Dear Aby with an Irish twist.

Burlesque with Holly Von Sinn

Very energetic clown burlesque delivered with lots of emotion and facial expressions. Holly, running around the stage, trying hard to get a wine bottle open, shakes it, until it explodes with sparkles of joy all over the place. Could it be symbolism for something else? Oh, I don’t know… Anyhow it was very impressive and she won the first place in the talent show and the $100 prize.

  1. Thank you so much for the fabulous review! :) :)

    Please note – I did not perform in the Montreal Burlesque festival last year. I got my burlesque start by Stage Kittening with Acme Burlesque and the Sublimes Rondeurs (Montreal’s only plus size burlesque troupe!) and by hostesing at the Montreal Burlesque Festival and the Grand Burlesque Show. I began performing after following a class with Lady Josephine and BonBon Bombay.

    Would it be possible to see the other photos that were taken of my act that night?

    Thank you <3
