What The Funk?! Fest Brings Burlesque Joy in Year Five

Reviews
Written By Mary Adner

If you’ve never been to a burlesque show before, welcome! If you have, I guarantee you’ve never seen anything like What The Funk?! Fest. One of the wonderful aspects to this art form is that there’s always something new to behold, a new story to be told, and moves like you’ve never dreamed of. 

In an oppressive society that polices bodies, judges abilities, and is generally icky to anyone outside the cis-heteronormative mainstream, living out loud as your authentic self with bodily agency is an act of the purest resistance.
