Paris Green, Belmont Burlesque, Executive Producer
Paris Green is the director and producer of the critically acclaimed burlesque troupe, The Belmont Burlesque Revue. She fell in love with burlesque when she saw her first striptease as a wee lass in the windswept fields of Kansas and has been finding creative ways to take her clothes off ever since. Paris has been a featured performer in the Best of the Midwest Burlesk Festival, Varietease Cabaret, Vaudezilla Productions, Viva La Muerte’s Hot & Heavy Burlesque, Mo Roses’ New American Review and the Late Night Late Show and has made special appearances for the Howard Brown Health Center, AIDSCare, Camenae Theatre Ensemble and the Gay Games.

Red Hot Annie, Vaudezilla, Executive Producer
Red Hot Annie began as – and remains – a pinup model since 2003. With an extensive performance background to draw on (having performed in nearly 50 bona fide theatre productions in about 13 years), she turned her attentions to burlesque in early 2008. In short order, she has become one of the most recognizable and visible faces in Chicago burlesque, blending comedy, sexiness, and storytelling into a crowd-pleasing style. In July 2008, Red Hot Annie paired up with Dick Dijon to create Vaudezilla Productions, which has become a major force in Chicago by redefining the burlesque bar show and setting a new standard for burlesque variety shows. In 2009, she began expanding her presence beyond Chicago, making appearances at the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival and the Texas Burlesque Festival, both of which have accepted her again in 2010. She regularly pops up all over the midwest and welcomes performance inquiries from other states & countries. Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you: Red Hot Annie really knows how to make the wieners boil!

Dick Dijon, Vaudezilla, Executive Producer
Keith Emroll is an Executive Producer and the Technical Director of Chicago's Vaudezilla Productions. In almost four years, he - along with Red Hot Annie - has played a significant role in the production of close to 300 burlesque performances and has helped position Vaudezilla as the pre-eminent burlesque organization in Chicago. In addition to his extensive work behind the scenes, he conceived and wrote Vaudezilla's critical and box-office smash hit "Rollin' Outta Here Naked: A Big Lebowski Burlesque." Keith has also popped up now and again on the stage as well (going by the moniker "Dick Dijon"), playing several small roles in "Rollin' Outta Here Naked," and occasionally serving as Your Semi-Capable Host (tm) at random Vaudezilla shows. He's your priest, your shrink, your shoulder to cry on, and the rock you can cling to. And if he can't do it, then it probably didn't need to be done in the first place.

Saucy Jack, Vaudezilla, Main Stage Host
Saucy Jack became a fan of burlesque shows when he became infatuated with one of the women in them. He wasn’t stalking, he was invited. Seriously. He began hosting with Vaudezilla in Chicago in late 2010, and has since become the regular host of Vaudezilla's monthly show Lincoln Fair as well as their live band show Burlesque Bandstand. In his time spent earning an M.F.A. in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul University he became an Actor Combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors, and thus can pretend to kick your ass with a variety of weapons. He even performs some boylesque now and again when the inspiration strikes.

Shirley Knot, Vaudezilla, Opening Night Party Host
Shirley Knot is Chicago's performer extraordinaire with a fabulous derriere. She thrust herself (figuratively and quite literally) into the Chicago creative scene by doing comedy, dancing and emceeing. Her silliness is coupled with edginess that makes her endearing yet unpredictable. With this kinky comedienne, you are surely not going to expect what Shirley Knot has up her sleeves.
