TITS THE SEASON!

Helvetica Productions is proud to present Tits the Season! at the Rio Theatre on Saturday, December 18.

Vancouver’s naughtiest and nicest new holiday tradition is an over-the-top festive extravaganza featuring Vancouver’s best drag, burlesque, circus, and variety performers! The bow on top of this holiday present is that the show will be headlined by the one and only Jimbo — who you may know as the notorious favourite from Season 1 of Canada’s Drag Race. This holiday spectacular is sure to keep you warmer than a cup of mulled wine, so meet us under the mistletoe — yule definitely be entertained!

About Helvetica Productions

Ariel Helvetica has shimmied and twirled her way around the globe, having performed at some of the top burlesque shows in Europe, Canada, and the U.S., including strip-teasing at The Burlesque Hall of Fame. Ariel has had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of students and brings her expertise to her studio, the Vancouver Burlesque Company, where she is the Assistant Director. In 2018 Ariel was voted #25 in 21st Century Burlesque Magazines “most influential performers” and #3 in Canada. Ariel has combined her burlesque prowess and love of developing the performing arts scene in Vancouver into Helvetica Productions, which is dedicated to showcasing a diversity of established and up-and-coming burlesque, drag, circus, and variety performers — as well as bringing joy back to the holiday season after a difficult 1.5 years of the pandemic.
