Sexy Mark Brown             

Mark has been performing in some way or another since high school.  He found a way to incorporate his love of comedy, dance and singing by studying Music Theatre at the University of Windsor.  Though he didn't finish his degree, two very important things happened while he was there.  First, he earned the nickname "Sexy" Mark Brown and, second, just before he left, he did his first striptease for a student talent show.  To this day, he's not quite sure what possessed him to do it!  A couple years passed, then one fateful day in the summer of 2003, he saw a poster advertising Bare-A-Oke, an amateur burlesque night soon to happen at Lee's Palace. Mark almost wimped out but his exhibitionist tendencies got the better of him. His act, "The Paperboy" was the perfect blend of Mark's sense of humour, silliness and sexuality.  The crowd went wild, and a few weeks later he was honoured to become a member of Skin Tight Outta Sight.  He continues to perform with STOS and hopes to be crowned Miss Exotic World at least once before old age strips him of all his charms.

Slim Jim            

Known for his slender physique, hilarious facial expressions and penchant for boozing it up onstage, Slim Jim has been performing with Skin Tight Outta Sight since 2002. He got his beginnings in burlesque when he competed in and won the first Mr. Market Amateur Male Striptease Competition in 2001. Previously a shy soul, this experience gave him a taste of the performing bug! Slim Jim started off in supporting roles, such as his infamous interpretation of Head Master Bater to Sauci’s Naughty Schoolgirl in “Cherry Bomb,” but he soon graduated to solo acts. His roles include a vodka-swilling Russian soldier, Axl Rose and a strapping young sportsman. MC Keith Cole is among his biggest fans, but Slim Jim prefers his glimpses of the young ladies behind the scenes…

Miss Kitty Galore is a wig-wearing party on wheels. She is a fairly notorious MC about town, and a saucy, bossy, Macho Femme. She loves to host burlesque shows because she gets the best seat in the house – onstage amidst the tassels and lace and backstage, in the partially clad crush of beautiful divas. Miss Kitty Galore also hosts other kinds of parties, including Drag King shows, polysexual orgies, weddings and punkrawk cabarets. She likes big boots, shaved heads and loud music.

Majenta Butterfly...   

Chanteuse Extraordinaire!
should have been known as the greatest female cabaret singer in the world – but instead she tragically fell victim to the glamour of destitution – lost in the cesspool of obscurity. 

 

As a young boy-girl in war-torn Europe, she quickly became the toast of Paris and Berlin in the 1930’s cabaret underground – a true star of debauchery.She was the most celebrated absinthe-swilling, drug-addicted, transvestite-prostitute to ever perform the most sorry acts in the seediest of hole-in-the-wall cabarets.Some claimed her voice once rivaled the cabaret greats like Dietrich, Keller, and Piaf, but her debauchery, infamous both on and off-stage, over-shadowed any vocal talent she once possessed.Whether she was deemed a deviant joke, a cheap trick for after the show, or a priceless lover to the seediest and richest of men… in Majenta’s mind, she was always a star. 

 

At the very height of her short career, she suddenly vanished… betrayed by one of her many lovers to the Nazi’s.  She was later discovered deep in the vaults of the Smithsonian Institute… frozen for over 65 years… the victim of a vicious Nazi cryogenic experiment.  Reborn on the eve of the new Millenium, she found herself destitute and dispossessed, with her voice almost completely destroyed. 

 

Despite her misfortunes, she is an extraordinary survivor, and has now returned to reclaim the stage, determined to recapture and re-live the “Golden Age of Smoky Cabaret”.  Crooning songs of passion, forbidden desire and love gone awry, she blurs the line between lust and lashings, man and woman, drunk and sober. Ever fixed with mascara-laden tears that haunt time-torn eyes, Majenta’s beautifully ravaged voice searches for a home… deep in the bowels of those who will listen. Majenta is the star of Toronto’s acclaimed “Cabaret Vulgare.” www.cabaretvulgare.com
