About the Wiggle
Welcome to Montreal’s foremost Burlesque and Variety destination, The Wiggle Room. Located in the heart of Montreal’s notorious St. Laurent Boulevard, across from Schwartz’s, The Wiggle Room is the Bootleg Baby of this city’s Bawdy family tree. Born out of a desire to bring a traditional Vaudeville spirit back to the street that was once known as Montreal’s “hardened artery,” The Wiggle Room is committed to providing high quality live shows.
The Wiggle Room is Montreal’s new home for burlesque, comedy, live music, Improv, performance workshops and of course, cocktails! Stay tuned for event information, casting calls and all the exciting news. And remember, “A Little Wiggle Goes a Long Way!”
The Team
Jeremy Hechtman
Owner
Jeremy Hechtman is probably best know for having been the producer of the Montreal Fringe Festival for 15 years and the founding Artistic Director of MainLine Theatre for the last 7 years. During his 20 plus year career in theatre he has been called; a loveable rogue, an idiot savant, a village idiot, the town drunk, a young Turk, a young lion, an elder statesman, a boulevardier extraordinaire, a troublemaker, a loudmouth, a noise maker, The Mel Brooks of the Main and the meanest sonofabitch in Montreal.
Frenchy Jones
General Manager
La carrière florissante de Frenchy Jones a commencé de façon inattendue en 2008 après avoir accidentellement tombé la tête la première dans un tonneau de paillettes. Depuis, elle se trémousse son chemin dans les cœurs et les pantalons des affectionados de burlesque de Montréal. Improvisation, joie de vivre, la bizarrerie et parfois seulement la simple sottise sont tous des caractéristiques des performances de Miss Jones. Elle apporte cette même joie de vivre à son poste de directeur général – les clients quittent jamais The Wiggle Room sans un sourire sur leur visage grâce à Frenchy Jones!
