JAMES & THE

Hi, I'm

PASTY

I like to put my best face backward.

GIANT

James & the Giant Pasty is an internationally renowned burlesque performer, producer, and teacher based in Toronto and Prince Edward County, Canada. He captivates audiences with his raunchy stripteases, his heartfelt naked storytelling, his playful jabs at traditional ideas of masculinity, and of course, his giant…..peach.

He is the 2x winner of "Most Comedic" (2018 and 2022) at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las vegas--once solo and once with his beloved troupe, BoylesqueTO. He is the founder and Artistic Director of BoylesqueTO, Canada's Premiere Boylesque Troupe--now 17 years old! He's the Venue Daddy at the Hayloft Dancehall in Prince Edward County--a 170 year old converted barn that hosts concerts, dance parties, burlesque and drag shows. He's the Troupe Daddy and producer of the Babes, Babes, Babes! Burlesque Tour - touring to 15+ cities across Canada this spring.

When he's not behind the scenes running a venue or producing a show, or onstage romancing the audience, he can be found making passionate love to a pot of coffee, or on top of his favourite partner--Tom Cruiser, his bike.
