Co-founder and Creative Director of Boston's only all-male burlesque troupe Sirlesque, Dale specializes in classic striptease and comedic character acting, and is legitimately terrified of not pushing the envelope far enough.
Dale also dabbles in swing dance, partner acrobatics, and physical performance. For fun, Dale impersonates popular (and unpopular) superheroes, and publicly doffs his hat at strangers who he disapproves of. Or likes.
Dale Stones is America's Boyfriend.

Their drag persona, Chad, is totally stoked to be chilling with the best of Boston's burlesque scene. He enjoys ultimate frisbee, coronas with lime, ghosting on tinder, and asserting that he can totally beat you at cornhole he is just too wasted, brah.

Fighting evil by moonlight, it's Benji Bombay! The PC Police of Burlesque has arrived on the scene, ready to take down his arch-nemeses: the gender binary, colonialism, and overpriced brunches. Known for nerdlesque stylings ranging from Captain Kirk to Cyril Figgis, you'll never find Benji too far away from some bad guys that need a beatin' — or a stage near you. Watch him twirl and shimmy his way to justice and liberation for all people with his signature fan dances and geeky lip syncs. You may have seen him teach queer theory, burlesque history, and dance technique to aspiring performers, or seen him take first place at Dale's All Male Yardsale, and So You Think You're A Lady or a Gent.

As the resident den-mother and emcee for Sirlesque, Alessandra brings hyperqueen realness, bawdy humor, and a lot of butt-puns to every Sirlesque show.

In his four years of leprechaun lasciviousness, he has charmed his own pants off of audiences in San Francisco, Toronto, D.C, Orlando, and Edmonton.
