There will be quite a few shows happening on Friday evening, so you'll have to choose from amongst several appealing options in San Francisco and the East Bay.
If you'd like to see a show in a theater setting, Fatdance: What a Feeling! will be happening at the Laney College Theater in Oakland on Friday and Saturday. While not strictly a burlesque show, it will feature both Lady Monster and Kitty Von Quim.
It'll be the Pajama Party show at Burlesqueteer Night on Monday night at the Uptown Club. The Burlesqueteers will be hosting the party, so expect some naughty goings-on in Oakland!
Have a happy fall, everyone!
