J Cequins is first and foremost an intellectual with a keen eye and a characteristic laugh.
A lover of the Arts and a mega Burlesque fan, he has swallowed kilos of glitter before taking the plunge and becoming a stage kitten.
Promoted "Stage Lion" by famous international burlesque artists in 2019, he has officiated as such for L'Improbable Cabaret (Lyon and Amsterdam), La Salve (Lyon), The Croatian Burlesque and Cabaret Festival (Rijeka), Le Cabaret du Scandale ! (Dijon). In 2020 he was co-producer of the France Burlypicks Solid Gold.
He is very outspoken, beware, if you step on his toes, he will roar for sure! But behind the roar, you will find a very generous and caring person, with a genuine love for artists and the performing arts.
