The art of burlesque has helped hundreds of women build confidence, get in touch with themselves, and express their sensual sides. The HER2-Revue was created with an emphasis on breast cancer survivors to help them reclaim their lives and feel sexy again as they navigate their new relationships with their bodies after cancer.

Founded and produced by Scott Vezdos (Top Shelf Productions), The HER2-Revue is a burlesque showcase based in Columbus, OH featuring professional and semi-professional performers from around the country. The HER2-Revue is a celebration of burlesque, body positivity/confidence, self-love, and sexual and mental wellness with an emphasis on breast cancer survivors and survivorship services. Scott is also the spouse of a two-time breast cancer survivor.

The HER2-Revue recently celebrated its two-year anniversary in the fall, and is planning its sixth show, the third annual "Shimmy 'n' Shake for Survivors" burlesque showcase, Saturday, June 20, 2026 at the Nest Theatre in Clintonville. Showtime is 8 pm, doors open at 7 pm. Tickets $30 (tips strongly encouraged).
