Fresh from the RVA Burlesque Festival, Bert Shaffer joins Viktor Devonne to talk about masculinity in burlesque, the word boylesque, his origins in burlesque, from harnesses to fringe, whether he has one of 'those websites,' and whether the eyeshadow is compulsory when playing a toy cowboy. This chat was recorded on April 28, 2025.
Give love to the folks…
