Troupe History:
Conceived in the back of a hearse by veteran burlesque performer, tassel-twirling dynamo (not to mention former mortician), Miss Firecracker and monster man-at-large, illustrator Mister Reusch, BCB is quite possibly the only burlesque troupe to build its ranks in a funeral home . . . Then, during a particularly portentous embalming, our devilicious Miss F met fellow undertaker J. Cannibal. Over blood and formaldehyde, he revealed his nasty little secret: namely, a penchant for voodoo and one Miss Mary Widow — horror movie obsessed choreographer and gore-gore girl extraordinaire! Thus, our creepy coven was nearly complete and what ensued has left a trail of broken hearts and resurrected corpses across the Eastern seaboard. In 2006, we welcomed our newest succubus into the fold . . . the hot & deadly Yellow Fever! Tragedy struck the troupe later that year when our beloved founder was sentenced to death by the Salem town elders for "Sins against the flesh" and drowned
