A master of transformation with a wicked wit, Cheeky Lane takes the art of strip tease up several notches with her flawless surrealist sculptural costumes and her over the top stage presence that is at once smart and the most delicious naughtiness you’ll ever encounter.

Jack Barrow could easily be the love child of Freddie Mercury and Liza Minelli if they had a child that ended up being just as fabulous as they were.
