San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for Halloween 2011 weekend... and beyond...

It's the weekend where Halloween follows on a Monday, so it'll be a weekend of shows celebrating one of burlesque's favorite holidays!

The Hubba Hubba Revue is starting off this weekend with a Halloween show, Nightmare on 13th Street, with their friends The Sizzling Sirens in Sacramento on Friday night. On Saturday, they'll be back in Oakland for their Halloween Bash 2011 at the Uptown Club. On Sunday, they'll be celebrating All Hallow's Eve at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. On Halloween night, they'll be back at the Uptown for their weekly show. The evil MCs, noted scientiscians, and other members of the show will be working extra hard on those experiments gone terribly, entertainingly wrong!

There's also the 3rd Annual Zombie Prom happening on Friday night at the Verdi Club in San Francisco. Lady Satan and Mynx d'Meanor will be providing the burlesque, and there will be live music from Slim Jenkins for all to enjoy. These proms are very popular, but the organizers have stated that there should be tickets available before the doors open at 8:00 p.m. So if you don't have tickets yet, get there early with $20 in cash in hand for each ticket!

Happy Halloween!
