Mandie Savage

Mandie Savage specializes in sideshow, flow arts, and neo-burlesque. She is also the host and talent curator for Dark Arts Circus & Cabaret. Mandie's twisted humor and relentless charm have earned her fans across the country!

Mandie began her foray into performing as a go-go dancer in the Wisconsin metal scene. She formed her own troupe, Savage a Go-Go, in 2007. The girls toured the Wisconsin hard rock circuit heavily. Savage a Go-Go evolved into a burlesque/variety performance troupe that produced their own shows in the Green Bay area.

Beginning in 2010, Mandie began producing and contributing to larger events in the community. Among many others, she has worked as a creative director for Dark Songs Festival (Sturgeon Bay, WI 2010-2012), producer for UWGB's drag show (Green Bay, WI 2012-2014), and most recently as an event coordinator for Fox Valley Pride Outloud (Appleton, WI 2015-present).

In 2012 she joined forces with hip-hop artist Lo Doublet in what was supposed to be a one-off show. Instead they created a performance art group called The Gospel. Combining raw lyrics and intense beats with steamy and spectacular visuals, The Gospel is a crazed stage-show experience. In January 2013, The Gospel made a successful tour of the Eastern United States, with minimal police contact. 2014 brought on another east coast tour, this time with more Midwest stops (and rowdiness) along the way to the Atlantic. The group continues to travel and perform regularly.
