Taking burlesque to the ninth circle of Hell, Sign of the Beast Burlesque merges titillating dance with heavy metal to create ....METALESQUE!!!

​

Our motley crew came together as a troupe in Portland, OR, in 2010, and we've been producing multiple shows a year ever since.

S.O.T.B. shows encapsulate everything that we love about metal: corpse paint, giant props, spurting fake blood, studs, spikes, viking goddesses, giant hair, leather, bats, beasts!

​

​

Come party with us!

In 2016 we decided to see how many more metalesquers were out there, so we started the world's first festival dedicated to Heavy Metal Burlesque - Metalesque Fest!

​

The Fest happens annually in October and features burlesque, drag, aerial, circus & performance arts, pole dance, fire and more, all set to pounding metal.

"This Fest is hands down one of the best & unique festivals I've ever been in.

It was an evil & metal sundae in the most delicious combo ...."
