Returning to Australia after stealing hearts off-broadway and beyond with the show that Time Out New York calls "brilliantly deranged!"

What happens when a bodacious burlesque star and a diminutive drag king fall in love? Showbiz magic! Kitten N' Lou, the world's show-BUSIEST couple are an award winning 'fluorescent Fred and Ginger' who will dance, lip sync and strip their way through an evening of hilarious high-camp hijinks.

Or at least that's the plan...

Like in every marriage, Kitten N' Lou's best laid plans are subject to the twists and turns of life. As the couple navigates the reality of performing an evening length spectacular with only two performers, they find themselves facing the reality of what it means to be "just us" - an unconventional couple finding their way in the convention of marriage. This melange of cabaret acts employs glitter and glitz not only to entertain, but to reveal... How do two individuals deal with the borderline-existential-crisis-crash of postwedding married life? Who will pack the glitter? Where does the showbiz end and real life begin? Does it matter? Who are Kitten and Lou without "Kitten N' Lou?"

Awarded the coveted title of 'Most Comedic' of The Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas (2014), Kitten N' Lou are known for combining the glamorous and the absurd for surprising and delightfully titilating results. Join Kitten N' Lou as they ask the hard questions, cut a rug, and wear their hearts on their sleeves.

OVEREXPOSED! was created by Kitten N' Lou in collaboration with RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6 star, BenDeLaCreme.
