Viktor Devonne has been performing somewhat naked on stage since 2003 with a formal burlesque debut in 2006 as emcee for the first White Elephant Burlesque show. As director, WEBurlesque made marks across the eastern seaboard and a five years residency in New York City.

Named Mr Hollywood Burlesque in 2019, Viktor made the move to west coast, where he produces the WEBurlesque podcast (now in its 7th season) and has appeared in multiple regional and national events. He is also behind the Silver Tusk Burlesque Awards, which honors entertainers with glorious and silly titles, voted on by the industry and its audience. He is the King of Hearts in the neoburlesquedeck card deck by Lili VonSchtupp and CB Summers.

He has been  dubbed the Whitefaced Tornado by the godfather of neoburlesque Tigger!
