Legend Judith Stein, headliner
Judith Stein began her career in 1973 when as an impoverished college student, answered an ad for topless go go girls, no experience needed. Seduced by the stage and bright lights, opportunities of travel, and money, she began her career as a stripper, traveling internationally with her unshakeable aplomb and chutzpa.
 
From Guam to Alaska, New Zealand to yes, Texas too, suitcase in hand, she’s been garnering appreciation worldwide for 17 years.
 
Retiring to small town British Columbia Canada until she was rediscovered by the Burlesque Hall of Fame as the Canadian Legend of Burlesque, once again, suitcase in hand, she took to the road appearing in notable burlesque festivals and shows across Canada, the US, New Zealand, and Finland.
 
Proudly appeared in the documentary, League of Exotic Dancers, and twice honored in the list of The Top 50 of Burlesque.
 
She is always delighted to be in The Lone Star State and delighted with her first visit to Austin, Texas.
