The Risquettes
The Risquettes
Our Revelrous Team
Our Risquettes are a select group of performers who form the foundation of our shows. They assist in setting up shows with our Producer and help spread the word of Risqué Revelry. You will likely see those familiar faces throughout the year as we try to have each show as a hybrid including both Risquettes and rotating performers.
Once a year we hold virtual auditions to add people to our Risqué Revelry team. Although our normal themed show submissions will not be turned down for a lack of video, troupe auditions are required to have at least (2) videos to be considered.
Ember Ashburn
Ember Ashburn has been a stage dancer and hula hooper for many raves and festivals, plus has a background in gymnastics, mime, theatre, music, and burlesque. Past credits of note include Fake Off (truTV), Global Dance Festival, KC Burlesque Festival, and Fringe Festival. Some of her model work has been displayed in galleries from New York to LA.
Naja VeNim
Naja VeNim is new as a performer, but by name only. Her face has been around KC and neighboring areas since she was very young. Naja has always had a flare for the dramatic – whether comedic, daring, evil, heroic, or sultry, she has found her happy place in performing. As a member of the LBGTQ+ community and an escapee ex-Mormon, she is excited to continue spreading awareness and acceptance by way of her performances for the LGBTQ+, Trans, POC, and Indigenous peoples through burlesque and as a Risqué Revelry troupe member. This basilisk babe has always been known to be a bit of a passionate hot headed rebel. She's fierce, fiery, and gives no fucks!
Psyren Damson
On the suggestion of a friend, Psyren walked through a pink door in Nashville, TN into her very first burlesque class in 2015 thinking this would be a unique, fun way to get some exercise. With absolutely no dance experience or performance background, she never imagined she had it in her to be an actual burlesque performer. In 2016 she moved to Lawrence, KS and began taking more classes. Now a seasoned ecdysiast, she's performed numerous shows across the midwest. As she continues to learn and grow her skills, she hopes to take her sultry, classic vibe to audiences everywhere.
Ulla La
Ülla La saw her first burlesque show in 2014 and began taking lessons immediately. She began as a stage kitten and had her debut performance in May of 2015. Ülla La’s first act was to "Paris Holds the Key to Your Heart" from the animated movie musical, Anastasia. This act remains as Ülla's favorite because of its adorable charm and high energy. Miss Ülla La has been performing burlesque for almost a decade now and really enjoys showing you her ass…ets. She has performed throughout the states of Missouri and Kansas and hopes to travel even farther!
