About Us

The Nude & Rude Revue is a performance art collective specializing in variety, vaudeville, burlesque, song, and dance. Our innovative ideas, classical training, and artful arrangements all show clearly that our joy is to share art. Nude & Rude began as a state of mind and life philosophy shared by the troupe while living in Skagway, Alaska. Allow us to tantalize, empower, celebrate, and surprise with an array of acts fueled by humor, tease, and an abundance of glamour. We invite all humans into our world to escape and play. Let the skeptics become believers; let the believers fall in love.
Try it... you’ll like it!

Kelsey

D.D.

Host / Performer / Choreographer / Vocals

D. D. (she/they) Dancin’ Delilah? Dyke Daddy? A bra size? Perhaps - permission to embrace ambiguity, exploration, and meaning, all in two initials. Nude & Rude’s multitalented MC (also known as Juneau’s Queer Heartthrob™️) is a performing and teaching musical theatre artist humbly and gratefully living on unceded lands of the Áak'w Kwáan people. She stumbled into burlesque through this magical group of people in 2017. Since that time, they have performed and choreographed as a founding member of Comedy Burlesque NYC, made an official move to Juneau, and have been gracing as many stages as they can. It is a privilege to continue performing with this incredible troupe. May you be touched (consensually) by the work of the Nude & Rude Revue, and may we all continue our work to decolonize art and our world beyond.

Infinity Divinity

Performer / Producer / Vocals

One part grit, one part glitter, a dash of brash, and whole lot of heart is brought to every stage she encounters. Stumbling upon acting and clowning in college, Infinity Divinity revels in the magic that happens between an audience and the performer. Joining the troupe for her debut burlesque performance in 2017, she is eternally grateful for the opportunity to learn, play, and grow with this incredible group of humans. It takes a village to make a burlesque show happen in remote Alaska & Canada, and her friends, family, and community have helped her every step of the way!

Lady Lacroix

Performer / Producer / Vocals

Lady Lacroix hails from Lingít Aaní, Juneau, Alaska. One part musician/performer, one part event producer, she ossilates from being on the stage to building a stage for others, and when she's lucky, gets to do both at the same time, performing with her favorite people. This upcoming year she'll be working on producing more large-scale events as well as coming out with her debut album. Learn more and stay tuned at www.taylorvidic.com!

She is bubbling with gratitude for her fellow troupe-members and the constant flow of inspiring talent they continue to deliver.

Davie (she/her) is a queer performer gratefully grown on Lingít Aaní (colonially known as Southeast Alaska). inspired by members of Mod Carousel, she attended Miss Indigo Blue’s Academy of Burlesque in 2015 and has produced burlesque since 2016. It is her dream come to fruition to tour her home state & beyond with this phenomenal crew of artists.
