If you’ve heard of Ottawa’s burgeoning burlesque scene then you’ve crossed paths with Miss Helvetica Bold. If you haven’t, you will in no time as this rubenesque redhead is putting it on the map in a big way. Dubbed “Ottawa’s Favourite Freak” by Daily Xtra, Helvetica Bold is a veteran performer in the Canadian Burlesque Scene; Her performance style incorporates both physical comedy and classic striptease, clearly influenced by her personal penchant for raunch and satire.

Helvetica proudly founded Rockalily Burlesque, Ottawa’s longest-running burlesque troupe, and is a founding member of the Ottawa Burlesque Festival.

Our international theme this month is “Sex” as chosen by our Toronto chapter and we couldn’t think of a more suitable figure to ruffle a few feathers and share all that is Ottawa’s burlesque scene than Miss Helvetica Bold.

We’re also incredibly excited to call the Bridgehead Roastery at 130 Anderson home for the first time. Ever since they opened the gorgeous space we’ve had our eyes on it and welcome you all out to experience this Ottawa gem.

As usual, we’re running from 8:30-10:00am this Friday, May 2nd. Get your tickets Tuesday at 8:00am here!
