MISS MOKKI:
POP IT
Pop it - 12 minutes
A classic balloon strip that emerges into balloon deep throating and knife throwing. This is an audience participation bit where a member of the audience assists me, bursting a balloon inside of her and then being her helper for knife throwing. The act mixes skill, comedy, sexy, and the danger of balloon popping but can be tame in terms of nudity if venue requires. When I MC I bring this act with me. When I perform this outside of Iceland it is performed to Björk’s It’s oh so Quiet, but music, styling, colors of balloons can easily be altered to fit the theme of your night. This has also performed with live music. This act is great for variety shows and for variety in burlesque shows, since it is a clowning audience participation bit.

ELLIE STEINGRAEBER: WANDERGUARD
An act mixing two extreme skills: Playing the violin live and contortion. This act is groundbased.
Video from the Slipper Room, January 2019.
MISS MOKKI: BELLA THE PHONE GIRL
A short secretary bondage act with a phone chord. Extremely silly.
ELLIE STEINGRAEBER: JAZZERCISE
Ellie's most popular act. This act is groundbased and fits multiple venues. This is an energetic and coked out jazzercise multi hula hooping act. A great testament of Ellie's skill and comic talent. This act is a a household act at Susan Bartch's Follies in New York.

MISS MOKKI: PEARLS, FEATHERS, AND FIRE
A classic burlesque act with feather fans and a heavy dress of pearls, than ends in fire tassels. Originally made specifically for New Years Eve, but works great any time of the year. Fire tassels are quite small, they do not set off alarms and I have the Icelandic qualifications as a fire perfromer. Can be improvised to live music.

ELLIE STEINGRAEBER: SHE'S A MANIAC
Yes, Ellie tends to lean towards powerful eighties songs and styling. This act is a lyra act where she is auditioning. Just like in Flashdance. After failing and breaking a tooth, lyra comes down and clothes come off. Aerial act.
Video of act: Reykjavík Kabarett, June 2018
MISS MOKKI:
THE RED ACT
... Because every showgirl needs a red act! This act is my personal favorite. An energetic shimmy shake act with nipple tassels and assels. The song is from the sixties, a "translation" of Aretha Franklin's Freedom, but is a very chauvinistic one about how his lady should relax. So this act is dedicated to all ladies that have ever been asked to "chill" or "relax." "Never in the history of calming down has anyone ever calmed down by being told to calm down." The act completely stands on it's own, weather you understand the lyrics or not. High energy, playful, tassels, assels... what more do you want?

ELLIE STEINGRAEBER: CRASH TEST
A clever contortion act where Ellie dresses up like a crash test dummy. Energetic, loaded with talent and absurdity. Performed to the Eagles' Life in the Fast Lane.
