On The Fringe
Located in a secret theatre, nestled behind a bookcase in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, resides this unexpected, high-concept burlesque show. Come enjoy a cocktail, grab a slider and revel in the beauty of the Cinegrill theater, topped off with the bawdy comedy of the host, Delilah, and the masterful performances from the best dancers Los Angeles has to offer.
Holding court in one of the most iconic and historic locations Los Angeles has to offer, Tracy Phillips‘ gritty cabaret-style show has won a devoted cult following.
As high energy and unpredictable as it is intimate, this modern cabaret-style revue is a high-octane whirlwind that titillates as much as it inspires. A love letter to and exploration of the female form, On The Fringe leaves the women in the audience as revved up as the men. The show is a little bit Weimar, a little bit punk, a little bit burlesque and all attitude. The extraordinary dancers, each with their own unique personality, stomp on tables, high kick, tease, provoke and amaze. It’s a night dedicated to female beauty and creativity, across a full spectrum of expression, from pouty to pretty to a little bit perverse. Not for the faint of heart.
When: Saturday, Aug. 26 from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Where: The Hollywood Roosevelt, 7000 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles
