New Orleans Burlesque Festival gets the spotlight in September

The first annual New Orleans Burlesque Festival will be Sept. 11 to 13 at Harrah's New Orleans on Canal Street.

Rick Delaup, producer and founder of festival, announced the dates during a session of the Tales of the Cocktail session called "Jazz, Cocktails and Storyville" on July 10. He recently released more details about the three-night festival of striptease, jazz and variety acts.

Delaup is known around town as a documentary filmmaker and as the creator of "Bustout Burlesque," a retro striptease that began in March 2005 at One Eyed Jack's in the French Quarter and has gone on to play engagements at Tipitina's in the Quarter, Le Chat Noir, the Royal Sonesta and the House of Blues.
