The Velvet Hammer
The sequined pasties and satirical skits of burlesque are alive and well in the glamorous hands of The Velvet Hammer. Forged in 1995 in the heart of Hollywood, The Velvet Hammer is committed to preserving the lost art of the burlesque dancer. Founder Michelle Carr has assembled a Fellini-esque cast of quirky and exotic characters, including Valentina Violette, Carlotta Bleu, Kitten DeVille, Fifi Lebum and Honey Corday, to tantalize and tease audiences everywhere. The voluptuous vixens of VH love to strut their stuff to the tune of rare and obscure music. Add to this unique costumes, dramatic lighting and fabulous scenery and you have a knock 'em dead show that leaves them cheering in the aisles.
"Listen, take my advice tonight! When the girls hit the runway and begin shaking those gorgeous oceans of trembling flesh at you, stamp your feet! Shout! Scream and clap! Burlesque lives again with the Velvet Hammer as it does always in our hearts!" - Mamie Van Doren
