Doc Wasabassco

The Kingpin of Burlesque

About Me

I'm the producer of Wasabassco Burlesque, with shows in Brooklyn, Washington D.C. and beyond, and The New Monday Night Burlesque @ Public Assembly (the former Galapagos Art Space) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In addition to burlesque and drawing sexy cartoons I occassionally build ridiculously elaborate robot suits (see my pictures). I'm strongly opinionated, a gentleman, a sweetheart, and a cranky bastard. Children, animals and old people adore me. I don't like escalators.
