“Boylesque is like Burlesque, only with boys and only
1 tassel.”
Well that’s not
strictly true, but it sounds good.
Burlesque actually
means to make a parody of something and has developed into taking one’s clothes off to music in a themed and
humorous manner.
Equador The Wizard has
a few “Boylesque” shows, though the 1 he’s most famous for is his magic, comedy, boylesque, dancing, strip
show!
A rip-roaring exuberant
rock ‘n’ rollercoaster of dance, magic and naked wizardry.
In 2009 Equador won
best new male at the London Burlesque Festival and was then awarded silver in TheMale Tournament of Tease.
Since then Equador has headlined cabarets all over the UK and holds residencies with Hotel Jarratelle in Belgium
and The Chris Cross Carny Cabaret in London.
Although the show does
involve male stripping, it is much more about the entertainment and wow factor.
The classic line from
men is often “I’m not gay, but I f***ing love that
guy”
Equador once had a girl
come up to him after the show and say, “I’m a lesbian; I think men’s
bodies are horrible, but you’ve got the best arse I’ve ever seen!”
Equador has packed all
that is possible into 10 minutes creating a “blink and you’ll miss out” factor that continually excites and
uplifts the whole audience.
If you want your night
to finish with a big bang that everyone will remember for years to come, then this show is the 1 for
you.
NB. If you are
concerned about mess, then a shorter clean 7 minute version is available. Please see videos. Also, the long show
can be performed with just confetti and no water.

A fool's fandango
This performance is a magical fantasy story about a cheeky
jester. Using a couple from the audience, the Jester uses magic, comic charm, dance and a
dramatic change of character in an effort to steel the girl from under the boy’s
nose.
This show is designed to compliment the above show by being very different. It is often performed at the
start of a Cabaret with the above show performed as the headline act.
Please note that the performance requires a couple from the audience to join in. The couple are
usually selected before the performance starts to make sure they come on stage. They aren't told what will
happen, but do agree to join in. This prevents the possibility that Equador accidently picks someone
who refuses to join in. It’s also vital that there's an area next to the stage that Equador can
temporarily take the girl to out of sight of the audience.
The conscience body act
This is a rather alternative 2 minute routine which utilizes body
popping/isolations mixed with contemporary dance to examine the idea of thought creating our
reality.
The magic you will experience with
Equador is a well chosen mixture of card sleights, vanishing
and appearing objects and levitations to name but a few. The
unique performance you get will have you laughing, bemused and
entertained.
