SHOW CORRECTION: There is no August 24th performance of Ruby’s Pop Up Peepshow.
People are pleasure! We aim to tease!
Community enjoyment, celebration, empowerment, passion, dance and theatre …the whole gamut! Ruby’s Pop Up Peepshow will be a live theatre for the senses, not the censored…
Innovative and interactive performance art such as drag, burlesque, and erotic dance all share a common thread: in essence a cathartic and therapeutic experience for the artist and audience alike. It is about revealing more than skin and body parts, it is about the stripping away of layers of social mores and expectations, truly living in the moment, repealing taboos and rebelling against norms. It is about wrestling guilt and shame away from the public imagination.
By recognizing peoples isolation and putting a spotlight on everyones need for honest connection through the performative arts, Ruby’s Pop Up Peepshow has the power to get us thinking about:
body positivity, healthy sexuality, consent, fun, and play.
Doomsday got you down? Practice “radical joy” with us!
Our travelling carnival-style entertainment has body-positive vibes. A community of celebration, with performances in the Pop Up circus caravan, accompanied by novel elements like popcorn, games, and prizes. It’s gogo on the go!

About the Artist
We are performance artists with over 15 years of experience travelling and staging performance art from intimate groups to large scale variety shows in British Columbia.
The Pop Up Peepshow employs our collective experience as burlesque dancers, trained clowns, and gendered-performers to relay the overall message that “all bodies are GOOD bodies”.
Ruby is a Bimbo with multiple personalities.
An activist for sex workers rights, she speaks about stigma through public education.
The visionary behind Ruby Entertainments, she recreates Bachelor Party rituals, combining sex-positivity with consent through play, dance and celebration/connection.
She burlesques with The Cheesecake Burlesque Revue, and is an accomplished poet and playwright.
