Miss Dirty Martini

NYC

International burlesque sensation, Miss Dirty Martini, is one of the most recognized names in new burlesque. In 1997, she traveled to Sarajevo, to perform her show-stopping fan dance to a shell shocked public shortly after the peace accord was signed and the Serbian siege had ended. Since that time, she has declared herself the first fan dancer to perform in post-war Bosnia. In her native Manhattan, Miss Martini has delighted audiences with her Fan Dance, Balloon Striptease, Dance of the Several Veils, Shadow Strip and other classic burlesque revivals in such venues as The Slipper Room, Bombshell!,The Supper Club, and Joe's Pub. She has been featured in venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall to infamous gay leather bars The Lure and the Eagle. She is a featured performer at The VaVaVoom Room in its successful run at The Fez on Lafayette Street and she proudly performs every summer in Coney Island at "Burlesque by the Beach". In May 2001, Dirty Martini appeared at the first new burlesque convention, "Tease-o-rama", in New Orleans, and in June, won the Sally Rand Award for Fan Dance at Dixie Evans' burlesque museum in California as well as first runner-up in 2003. She has performed twice this year with The Velvet Hammer Burlesque at the historic El Ray Theater in Hollywood, CA and returned to the West Coast last September for Tease-o-rama in San Francisco, where she was the only new burlesque performer to receive two standing ovations in one night. Dirty continues to perform in San Francisco at The VaVaVoom Room and has been presented in France twice this year in the New Burlesque Cabaret. Dirty Martini has been photographed and interviewed for articles in Esquire, The NY Post, Backstage, Hustler, Newsday, Max, The Village Voice and Bust Magazine and she is featured in the book "Striptease, from Gaslight to Spotlight". She has completed two interviews that will be shown on German television and she has been seen on The Metro Channel and Oxygen TV. In the near future, Miss Martini has appeared in the Velvet Hammer Burlesque Documentary as well as other independent films and book projects regarding the history of women in burlesque and its current revival in nightclubs and theaters across the nation.
