Known as the original “Boylesque” artist in New York, Tigger! has proven that burlesque performers don’t have to be women only. A true innovator, he is one of the reasons that burlesque has had such a rebirth throughout the country. A quote from Tigger! “If you have difficult politics you want to shove down their throat get them to laugh and their throats are wide open and you can subvert and do all kinds of stuff . . . just entertain them and you can slip the knife in a 100 million different ways.”
