San Francisco area burlesque for the week of August 31, 2009

Looks like we've got another week of shows that's loaded towards the back of the week. So take a look at the shows and choose which ones you'd like to see.

If you've wanted to see the comedy troupe Killing My Lobster but haven't yet, this Friday will be a good time. They'll have as special guests the Hot Pink Feathers!

And on Saturday, you'll have a choice between Burlesque n' Brass with the Hot Pink Feathers and Blue Bone Express, or the Kentucky Fried Woman Show at Velvet.

Whatever you choose, you'll probably have a great time. So it's a win-win decision! Enjoy, everyone! :-)

Cabaret deNude was supposed to return from hiatus this month, but it's not scheduled on the Stud's website, and no one has logged into their MySpace account since May. I'll post something if I learn that the show's happening this Sunday.

As always, for more information, please check the calendar above. Also, you may want to check back during the week to see if there are and late additions to this schedule. And if you have a burlesque show or information about a show you would like to add to the calendar, please email me at sfbr AT gmx DOT com.
