Nina Tucciarelli - Vera Visceral Burlesque

She's bringing her naughty brand of sass, cheeky charm, and visual opulence to the stage with a wink and a nod to the golden age of burlesque and vaudeville. Want to see a stripping chicken?

With every number she's on a mission to put a smile on your face with a shimmy and a shake and an unexpected surprise hidden beneath her fabulous frocks. Discover why audiences have dubbed her the 'Carol Burnet of burlesque' and get ready for one heck of a wild ride with Vera!

Since 2010 I've been slipping into the sequins and fringe as my cabaret/burlesque persona Vera Visceral. I first debuted this sassy alter ego in my full production The Visceral Show, which featured original music and skits written by yours truly and starring a fabulous cast of singers, dancers, and comedians. It was performed annually in Bozeman from 2010 until 2014.
