Canadian History of Burlesque: As Discovered and Lived by Judith Stein

In this lively and unfiltered talk, Judith takes you on a tour through the dance halls of the Yukon, the beer parlours of the Prairies, and the international stages where Canadian showgirls made their mark. With her signature wit, honesty, and outrageous humour, she brings to life the untold stories of Canada’s burlesque past — from shifting laws across provinces and borders to the thriving, high-paying scene that stretched from the High Arctic to southern Ontario.

Equal parts history lesson and backstage confession, Judith’s storytelling is as informative as it is entertaining. She tells it like it is, and leaves audiences laughing, gasping, and inspired by the incredible people who helped shape this overlooked chapter of showbiz history.
