A Bit About the Babeala...

​She dances, sings and takes off some things.



Nipsy Tussle is a Neo-Vaudevillian, Emcee, Dancer, Burlesque Performer, Cabaret Singer, Twirler, Silly Spitfire, Dance Educator, Choreographer, Parodist, Comedienne, Entertainer, Writer, Goofball, Mary-Jane Shoe Aficionado, Black-Pants Enthusiast, Music Lover, Thinker, Existentialist, Marmot Advocate, Faux-Redhead, Producer & all around nice gal originally from PA but now living in Knoxville, TN.

 

She currently produces and manages:

  • PULSE: Performance Arts Showcase

PU

She began her burlesque training & career in 2010 and she has originally performing regularly with Salomé Cabaret from Knoxville, TN as well as a brief stint with Biz'Cirque Cabaret Circus in Knoxville.  She has since expanded to producing her own shows with her dance troupe, "The Follies Girls" (Knoxville's Unique Showgirls), and independently through HOT (House of Tussle) Productions.  Her passion is fringe arts and she focuses her productions on neo-vaudeville varieté entertainment and diverse performance art. 

 

She has been blessed to strut her stuff throughout the states and is available for performance and instructional engagements anywhere you want her to go! 

 

Always looking to increase her knowledge she has been fortunate enough to have done some workshop and private studies from some of the biggest names in burlesque including Satan's Angel, Indigo Blue (Miss Exotic World 2011), and Perle Noire to name only a few.  She's truly living an amused life and hopes to shake her glittery goodness on a stage near you!

The Her-story of Nipsy in Little White Lies...

 

Born Lorelie Assmannshausen to a German father and an American mother, her mother nicknamed her Nipsy due to her tendency to never fit correctly into a button-down shirt. In her mother's honor...she proudly chose it as her stage name.

Nipsy is a beautiful enigma with more curves than the autobahn. 

She's a bountifully beautiful dancing dame that's more than a spoonful of sugar.
