San Francisco area burlesque for September 29 to October 6, 2010

This week in San Francisco Bay Area burlesque marks some celebrations!

On Friday evening at El Rio in San Francisco, help celebrate Kentucky Fried Woman's birthday as she emcees Red Hots Burlesque! There will be plenty of show, and then there will be a party on the patio. Happy birthday, Kentucky Fried Woman! But it looks like RHB's Dottie Lux will only be able to stay for a few minutes, because she'll be off to Sebastopol to perform in Risk-A Cabaret's Glam Show!

Saturday evening sees the return of Bunny Pistol's Barbary Coast Burlesque at Enrico's in San Francisco, which is certainly a cause for celebration! And over at Oakland's Cafe Van Kleef, the Hot Pink Feathers and Blue Bone Express will be celebrating the fourth anniversary of their show, Burlesque n' Brass. Plus, they'll be celebrating the birthday of Head Feather Kellita! Happy birthday, Kellita!

First Friday Follies on (yes) Friday and Monday's Hubba Hubba Revue show round out this week's burlesque shows. I'm sure there will be plenty to celebrate at those events, too. So whoop it up this week, and, as the Hot Pink Feathers say, laissez les bon temps roulez!
