The men of Bearlesque bared it all on stage at OutFest on October 9th of this year. Josh Schonewolf came up with the idea of a show like this when he met who is now the male lead of Bearlesque for the first time. They decided that they had to create a show of their own. This all began about three years ago and now they perform monthly in Philadelphia, as well as other gigs that they are hired for around the states. The main focus for Bearlesque is to promote body positivity in the gay community.
