Paco Fish on burlesque, living in a van, and quitting his day job to do what he loves
After his house was foreclosed on, Baltimore burlesque performer Paco Fish decided to seize the circumstance and pursue his dreams. So the performer took the plunge and moved into his van, then embarked on a 52-week Burlesque Vanguard Tour across the country, taking along a variety of characters and theatrical striptease acts. Fish's next stop is Denver, where he'll perform tonight at the Voodoo Comedy Playhouse and Friday, in the Midnite Martini's Sexy Circus Sideshow at Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret; he'll also teach two afternoon workshops at Vivienne VaVoom's School of Burlesque and model for Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School on Sunday. We caught up with the bold performer, who talked with us about being inspired by the Dresden Dolls, quitting his day job, and how to shower when you're living out of a van.
