Burlesque performer:
Brattie Von Beaverhausen
Brattie Von Beaverhausen, found a home for her unique irreverence in the Knoxvegas burlesque community.
She got her leather booted feet wet at the Follies Girls and then from there sashayed herself into production with Ooh Ooh Review. Now performing with Salomé Cabaret, and in drag with Clam Slam and Bear It All.
In addition, Ms. Von Beaverhausen is also a walking, talking, advocate for body positivity, the fetish community, and how to rebel with class.
Whether producing, choreographing or performing, her routines are known across state boundaries as a specialized mixture of sauciness, naughtiness, and just a lil bit of sass.
Brattie comes by her name honestly - and she will make you unsure if you are laughing hard...or...well, you know. winks
