Rubie Fizz - Resident Shimmy-Shaker
Rubie Fizz... is a bubbly burlesquer with an effervescent charm that can make you tingle all over. This lively, leggy lady has been popping up on stages all across North America but calls New York her home.
This stand-up dame was conceived in a speakeasy, the lusty result of a late night tryst between a bootlegger and a showgirl. Raised "in the trunk" with eyelash glue in one hand and an ostrich boa in the other, she walked the boards from Coney Island to Key West. After running the Chicago vaudeville circuit, Rubie wound up in Las Vegas where she developed a taste for sloe gin and the good life. It's here where the age old story takes off...
Independently and as a founding member of the ecdysiast troop known as "tempted! Burlesque", she can be see at some of New York's finer venues – Riffi, Galapagos Art Space, Robin des Bois, Lotus, Cercle Rouge, Nightingale Lounge and of course Coney Island to name a few.
A modern jazz baby for the new millennium, Rubie Fizz will shimmy and shake her way in to your heart.
And remember folks - If it ain't Fizzy... It just ain't Burlesque!
