Barbary Coast Burlesque

Live burlesque is an institution that flourished in the United States from the late 1800s until Prohibition. In recent years, it has recaptured the nation’s imagination as a stylish and provocative form of entertainment that is appreciated on a variety of levels. Much more than just a strip-tease, the best live burlesque shows incorporate storylines, feature amazing original characters, and stimulate all the senses. Burlesque has also traditionally highlighted the skills of the odd and unusual, including contortionists, jugglers and the like.

Barbary Coast Burlesque originated in 2008 in a small, seedy bar in the SOMA district of that born-again hotbed of burlesque interest, San Francisco. Named after a part of the city notorious for its colorful low-life and led by local legend Bunny Pistol, BCB features an array of top performers who together produce unforgettable presentations, bringing with them an aura of sophistication, playfulness and intrigue.

This cabaret of dazzling beauty has gained a reputation as one of the greatest burlesque shows in the country. Host Bunny and her cast of dancers, contortionists, chanteuses, and freaks are the life of the party!

Bunny Pistol was born with a fierce appetite for the stage. She has grown to devour burlesque and has blown away audiences throughout the world. She has been twirling tassels since 2007 and has captivated audiences all over the USA and Europe. A finalist for the Miss Viva Las Vegas Competition in 2008, Bunny has performed in London, Paris, The Burlesque Hall of Fame and other major cities across the world.
