Cirque de la Femme, our Chicago-based burlesque, sideshow, and neo-circus troupe, has been producing some of the most unique stage shows in Chicago following it's founding during winter of 2010 by Feli Fury. With the charm of a variety show and the creative energy of an artist collective, Cirque de la Femme has something for every one. Our current lineup consists of Feli Fury, Shana Vaughan-Gabor,

Dollface (LA), Shotglass Sally, and Gigi DeLuxe. We specialize in burlesque, aerial arts, trick archery, chair balancing, pyrotechnics, contortion, bed of nails, glass walking, glass eating, human pincushion, straight jacket escapes, blockhead, mental floss, ladder of swords, snake charming, and sword swallowing. We also have a large network of local and national performing artists who we draw from to add to the dynamism of CDLF productions, providing our audiences with spectacular variety that is exclusive to that each show. Noteable events that Cirque de la Femme has performed at include Lollapalooza (2012), Freakeasy at the Metro (2013), The Chicago Nightlife Awards (2013), for Bad Girls Club (2013), and at P**n and Chicken's Transylvania Carnivale (2014). Individual Members have opened for Chvrches (2014), Knife Party (2012), Leaether Strip (2013), performed at The Chicago Nightlife Awards (2014), Spring Awakening (2012, 2014), Northcoast (2014), and have been featured in the Krewella “Killin’ It” music video. We produce an established periodical show at Debonair Social Club as well as performing at private and corporate events.

Check it out! Cirque de la Femme's very own Feli Fury is modeling Saint Harridan suits.

Oh. Yes. We. Did. Feli (of Chicago-based Cirque de la Femme) asked if we wanted to see some fire-swallowing in our suits. We just about fell out of our chairs (and into the freezing alley outside our Andersonville pop-up shop). "If I had known I could do fire professionally, I would have started a lot sooner," Feli says. We think the same applies to dressing masculine-of-center -- if you feel right in a suit...Wear One!

Chicago Saints, we're at 1748 W. Balmoral Ave (next to joie de vine), open every day from 11am to 6pm until closing on Sunday, Nov 23rd. Fittings are free. No appointments required.

Amazing portrait by Miki Vargas Photography. These handsome friends absolutely rock our world.
