Wooww... what an evening we had at the 1st Annual Awards. There was everything one can wish to see at a burlesque show: A fantastic panel of judges, original awards, an electric atmosphere, a gorgeous venue, an array of astonishing performers 'competiting' for the Best Performer 2016...
Here we are in great company with this gentleman: Neil Kendall
