Another lovely event I attended the for the first time, in a very cool and glamorous venue.
Nico is Mr. Bear Congeniality, a Berlin Bruiser, and does stand-up with a twist.
This performance featured a strip and shake!
Big Broad Revue is co-produced by Dotti Moscati, who gave a quick talk about how much she values diversity and inclusion in burlesque.
Same, queen! It’s all about the big, embracing tent. I love a show that welcomes all folx. The next BBRevue show is looking awesome too, I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it with the vast amount of medical procedures both hb and I have in June but I am gonna try like hell. The venue, Zum böhmischen Dorf, is very cool as well!
The other producer is Liliana Velásquez, the hardest working latex queen in Berlin!
Liliana did her new comedy routine about redacted cause spoilers, you gotta see it yourself and wore two different bespoke latex outfits! Sadly, I could only draw this transp. burgundy and black one. You can catch Liliana’s comedy every Sunday, no matter what, at Sunday Slips.
She is hilarious, sexy and luminous. She threw knives in her underwear.
We also enjoyed several other performers including local legend Cadbury Parfait and, below,
violin-playing contortionist Ellie Steingraeber!
The show finished with a set from Wynton Kelly Stevenson, an amazing musician-sorceror-scientist.
Wynton mixes harmonica, synthesizers and vocals for a sound that is totally unique. I love to hear him perform. There was a rather drunk guy at the show who also clearly loved Wynton’s sound, and he got out of hand and started hollering about “One more! One more!” Liliana, who is both Latina and a former New Yorker, told the dude to chill out in a very firm way. Do Not Mess 🙂 More Liliana and Wynton drawings here.
It is only possible for me to create and share my documentary art of Berlin life because of my Patrons on Patreon. Their monthly financial support allows me to make this art!
You could help, for as little as a dollar/euro per month.
I started drawing this tender couple because I liked the shape of the left-hand partner’s coat and legs.
This guy was on the train I got on right after.
And this young woman in a sweatshirt dress was on the phone, on the bus.
