San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for June 30 - July 6, 2011

This week will include the 4th of July holiday, so it'll be a bit of a different week coming up.

Notably, there isn't a Hubba Hubba Revue show for this coming Monday at the Uptown in Oakland. The Hubbas will be presenting That 90's Dance Party with DJ Devon this Friday evening at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, and Kingfish will be hosting at the grand opening of Retro Electo at the Cafe du Nord on Sunday evening.

Otherwise, there will be some holiday-themed shows happening, notably the First Friday Follies America the Beautiful show at the Stork Club in Oakland on Friday night, as well as the Blazing Burlesque Bombs Over Burlesque show in Sacramento on Saturday night.

On Sunday night, Kentucky Fried Woman will have an improv-themed show at the Bench and Bar in Oakland. The Lady Ms. Vagina Jenkins will be a special guest star.

And, of course, there will be the two Red Hots Burlesque shows per week. Enjoy! :-)
