First Friday Follies and Sugar Shack for Friday, May 1, 2009

It's the first Friday of the month, so that means it's time for First Friday Follies! As always, it's at the Stork Club near those cool art galleries in Oakland that are open late for the art walk (a.k.a., oakland art murmur, www.oaklandartmurmur.com). So check out some of the galleries before the show, perhaps get a bite to eat at one of the nearby food providers, then get ready for some rockin' burlesque!

First Friday Follies!

Thank you for coming out and making our April show another success and thank you to all of our fabulous performers. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Mark your calendars because another First Friday Follies is just around the corner! That's right... May 1st we'll be back with another exciting show.

Performers include:

s(ASS)y hotbuns!

Sparkly Devil!

debut performance by Sheba!

Musical stylings of The Fucking Buckaroos!

Bootsy La Rue! Debut!

Amateur Hour boylesque!

Matt Holdaway!

Cupcake and Little Eyeful! Pint-sized Princesses!

BB Dahl! Hot-ass pick-up artist!

Margaret France! Our Marvelous Emcee! Margaret has become a variety show unto herself by including singing and awkward dancing in her act. Margaret can drop a one-liner or do the Cabbage Patch in a bunny costume without sacrificing the sincerity and down-to-earth delivery that makes her comedy both really ridiculous and ridiculously real.

It's a whole lotta show, folks! No cover charge as usual, but FEEL FREE TO DONATE! Please!

And Keep Burlesque Alive in Oakland!
