Founded in 2024 by Brian Cohen, San Diego Showgirls brings high-energy Burlesque, Fire, and Aerial performances to stages across the country. The journey began at Candy Shop, where Cohen launched an electrifying entertainment experience. After selling the venue, he opened La Boom, now home to San Diego's only weekly Burlesque show.
With deep roots in the Burlesque scene, Cohen's career started in Las Vegas at 1923 Bourbon & Burlesque, known for world-class acts and celebrity guests. He later co-founded Vampire Lounge in Beverly Hills and collaborated with top-tier Burlesque troupes in Hollywood.
A pivotal moment came when Cohen received a request for a private birthday show. Realizing the national demand and his unique network of A-list performers, he expanded operations to bring elite entertainment to homes and venues across America — not just in big cities, but everywhere. His mission: deliver unforgettable shows while creating new income opportunities for talented Burlesque artists.
As of January 2024, San Diego Showgirls stages performances in Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Headquartered in Little Italy, San Diego, we provide professional Burlesque entertainment anywhere, anytime.
