AUGUSTA, GA - Friday night just got a little hotter with The Pretty Things Peepshow coming through town. This vintage-style burlesque troupe guarantees their show of old-school striptease, sideshow tricks and rockabilly aesthetic is nothing short of tantalizing.
The Pretty Things Peepshow has been around for four years, but they have accomplished quite a lot in the last one. They have performed at events like Vans Warped Tour, and OZZFest with Ozzy Osbourne, as well as on HBO’s “Real Sex” series, “The Girls Next Door,” The Discovery Channel and more.

Comprised of three performers, Go-Go Amy, Bertina May and Insectavora combine their extensive backgrounds in dance, burlesque and sideshow performance into one classy and sexy show.
Originally from New York City, Go-Go Amy is the brains behind the traveling sideshow. She explains their love for the timelessness of vintage style burlesque. “Our feeling is that it was so good the first time, it’s not broke, so don’t fix it. We like to keep it really traditional. It’s exactly like you would see it in the 1930s and ’40s.”
To add to the list of cool things they’ve accomplished, they have appeared in music videos for The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dave Grohl’s band Probot.
But Go-Go Amy notes what has so far been the best response to their act. “Bertina and I have had songs written about us. Basically when someone likes us enough to write a song about us, that’s a pretty big compliment.”
