A whole new view of Edmonton

Violette Coquette and Audra Audacity put fun in Burlesque

As The Edmonton Muse celebrated their first Anniversary at the Starlight Room in Edmonton. 

There were 2 acts that most wouldn't have normally considered for a part in the Birthday Bash, but then again The Edmonton Muse has banked on not being the norm. The 2 ladies, true artists in the craft of Burlesque, who provided entertainment in between the awards and the bands.  Entertaining the audience is definitely what both, Violette Coquette and Audra Dacity do. The audience thought they were amazing from the appluase from all during each of their sets.

Violette Cocquette, performed 2 of her more than 25 solo sets she has created. Between well crafted costumes, and the class of a major production, Victoria shows why she was Vue Weekly's 2016 Burlesque performer of the year.  

Her first set "Elizabethan Love" - puts to rest the rumour that in the Elizabethan era, women should not be on the stage, Violette shows why.  I heard the comments in the crowd that she reminded them of Sharon Stone (Fatal Attraction), and I would have to agree.













Her second set "She'll Be Mine" is a take on the movie Cabaret starring Lisa Minelli, but this was second to none as Violette takes this to the next level as she portrays her character.














Audra Dacity was the second performer, and she has wit and humour mixed in with a down home burlesque.  The girl next door, but definitely knows how to perform as well.  The first set has Audra in the persona of a 1950's housewife in the kitchen cooking up a storm, but it doesn't last.  As Audra takes you into her world of Burlesque, has fun and ensures that the audience has fun.  It is hard to believe that only 3 years ago, in 2015, Audra was not even sure what she would be doing.  Determination and strength,a year later in 2016, Audra would be runner-up to our first artist Violette Coquette for the Vue Magazine Burlesque artist of the year and today performs with the Capital City Burlesque Troupe. 











In her second set, this one goes where no one was expecting, its the girl next door and what happens when you are least expecting it........ Audra is always engaging the audience and the audience was not expecting how this one ended, especially the one person in the front row. 










What? I can't give the whole show away in Pictures ....... but the looks on everyone's faces and the  laughter showed just how Audra knows what the audience is not expecting...... 

Classy and fun, that's why these 2 Artists Audra Dacity and Violette Coquette. are 2 of the best in business.

Thanks to the Edmonton Muse for bringing these 2 ladies to the stage.
