DIVE BAR KC: Grit and Glam

Dive Bar KC: Grit & Glam is a bold, high-energy burlesque experience that brings unapologetic glamour into a gritty, rock-and-roll dive bar atmosphere. This is not polished theater burlesque — this is raw, electric, in-your-face performance where rhinestones meet rebellion and every act is fueled by personality, presence, and attitude.

Created to celebrate both seasoned performers and fearless newcomers, Grit & Glam strips away pretension and puts authenticity center stage. Expect powerful burlesque, boylesque, drag, and variety acts that lean into confidence, sensuality, humor, and controlled chaos. No two shows are ever the same, but every night delivers bold choices, big energy, and unforgettable moments.

This show thrives on connection — between performers and audience, glam and grit, polish and punk. You’ll see performers who don’t play it safe, producers who believe in community over competition, and a crowd that understands participation isn’t just encouraged — it’s part of the experience.
