ABOUT GOLDIE

GOLDIE LUXEMBURG drags burlesque back to its roots in vaudeville, music halls, and girlie shows. Armed with a quick wit, a soaring voice, and a baritone ukulele, she’s Southern Ontario’s Yenta of Burlesque. Call her the Revenge of the Red Hot Mamas.

EMILY ZIMMERMAN created Goldie Luxemburg as a celebration of undergound, queer, and sexy Jewish culture. Emily is a food bank coordinator by day, cabaret performer by night, with a theatre school education and a deep love of history. As Goldie, she explores and shares the history of Jewish radical politics and performance in venues ranging from punk clubs to academia to shuls.
