NEW VIDEO – Halloween @ Soho Chicago
Check out this video from our recent Halloween Production for Bacardi at Soho House Chicago.
TEN YEARS of TEASE
Ten years ago, International Burlesque Superstar Michelle L’amour started a burlesque group that would take Chicago by storm. In 2010 the Chicago Starlets were inducted into the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas as the Best Group in the World. Over the years, the Starlets made a name for themselves as many of them have traveled the world doing their special brand of striptease.
Now, ladies from the ten year history of the Chicago Starlets are getting back together for the sexiest reunion show the Windy City has ever seen!
Dottie La Vie, Lady Ginger, Honey Halfpint, Brooklyn Britches, Frenchie Kiss, Porcelain Pistoal, Penny Rose, Lacie Roulet, Millie Toulouse, Kami Oh, Stella LaRocque, Sophia Hart, Rhonda Vous, Lily Bloom, DeVaughn Dior, Deirde Doll, Dominique Trixx, Ivy Fabulous, Vivian Velvet, Nora Gretz and Michelle L’amour are all back to shake it once again on the City Winery stage!

Valentine’s Weekend in Chicago
A message from Michelle L’amour:
Darlings…
Whether you are feeling romantic or rebellious this Valentines, spend the weekend with me and a hand selected cast of beautiful performers. This is the most elevated, sensual, luxurious show I’ve ever put together. The sexy stuff is sexier than ever. The funny stuff is funnier that ever. The epic stuff is, you get the point. I am really excited to see you.
I am premiering a brand new act that will leave you breathless. I hope to transport you to someplace magical that you’ve only dreamed about. Plus, I’m doing a very imaginative duet with Jett Adore!
Le Nu is a European-inspired evening where guests will be immersed in the sumptuous surroundings of Carnivale’s Samba Room and served decadent desserts while me and a hand picked collection of amazing musicians, dancers, absurdist clowns and more entertain you. Beyond that, I dare not share the indulgent details of this steamy show. You’ll have to be there to find out. Trust me, you will never be the same.
It is the perfect addition to your romantic plans for Valentine’s weekend. I hope to see you there.
SIX INTIMATE SHOWS – February 13 and 14

You’re Valentine’s Plans are Here…
For more than a decade, Michelle L’amour has been bringing Chicago the sexiest productions and shows. From founding the internationally acclaimed “Naked Girls Reading” to producing and starring in last year’s Playboy Halloween party at the Soho House to consistently being one of the world’s top burlesque showgirls, her luxuriously sexy shows are not to be missed.
And now, Michelle L’amour brings you an entirely new show – “Le Nu” (Naked) – an intimate and daring European inspired evening like Chicago has never seen. Guests will be immersed in the sumptuous surroundings of Carnivale’s “Samba Room” and served decadent desserts while being tantalized by Miss L’amour and a hand selected group of the most amazing acts and musicians in the world. Beyond that, we dare not share the indulgent details of this steamy show. You’ll have to be there to find out! Trust us, you will never be the same.
Seating is so limited that it is like you’re getting a private show.
Have an incredible dinner at Carnivale and then join us upstairs for the hottest night of winter. It’s the perfect Valentine’s Date.
TICKET PRICE INCLUDES A SPECIAL CHEF’S SELECTION DESSERT TRIO FLIGHT OF:
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cigar, Tres Leches with Espresso Fondant, AND Passion Fruit Tart.
The Chicago Reader has called Michelle L’amour “Devastatingly Erotic”.
Chicago Magazine says, “L’amour is demure and alluring, graceful and wild, with hands like trained doves. When she’s introduced, the house explodes and she always kills.”
The New York Post says she “brings down the house”.

Marc Maron’s Impromptu Set at Wiggle Room

Last night we were visited by the amazing Marc Maron, who took the stage after the show to do an impromptu (and I must say geniusy) set. Kinda made us all want to go get ice cream. Not only was he incredibly funny, but he was a gracious and charismatic gentleman. Even though he decided during his set that he was going to establish the type of relationship with Michelle L’amour that she would always find him disappointing, he certainly did no such thing. If you were not in the intimate crowd last night, you missed a great show. You never know what you might see at Wiggle Room. What a night.
