London St. Juniper is a burlesque and sideshow performer local to Baltimore, Maryland and Washington DC. London's background is in performativity rather than performance; as a PhD candidate, London researches the construction and performance of identity through fashion in Victorian novels and contemporary comics. Overthinking everything, and writing it all down, this sartorial siren has spent the last seventeen years hunting down the illicit in literature as a literary scholar and cultural historian; now finishing a PhD in bad influences, London loves a dirty book, but always keeps the pages pristine.

In 2017 London put her doctoral theories into practice, and made her burlesque debut as Batman in Baltimore. Since then she has performed around the US, from intimate brunches to the huge crowds of DragonCon Burlesque and Satanic Panic. Performing nerdlesque, burlesque, glass walking and bed of nails, London favors elaborate costumes and unexpected reveals, and finds inspiration in her research.

​London St. J is the Gin Palace Special, and Your Illustrated Edition.
