ORLANDO FRINGE | Mo' Manada (BoylesqueTO)



What's Mo' Manada? Oh, god, you had to ask. Now they're singing and stripping while they explain it.

Burlesque is alive and well in Orlando, and now "boy" burlesque is, too. If you want to see lots of bananas (if you know what I mean), you might want a different type of club – but if you want to see a lot of bananas covered by glittery g-strings, boy do I have the show for you!

Burlesques don't usually take home prizes for plot. This is no exception – there's something of a framing narrative involve Justin Trudeau fantasizing about Barack Obama and Donald Trump, but really, you're here to see lots of hunks stripping and cavorting onstage. This certainly delivers. The pre-gamed audience was clearly having the time of their lives, and at a late night performance, too. 

If you like bananas, this is that in spades. It also shows that you don't have to have perfectly ripped bodies to attract men's and women's eyes – clearly, it's how you use it that got people roaring. Mo' Canada, Mo' Manada.
