Burlesque benefit show for Madame E on Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Madame E, a member of the Burlesque Hall of Fame and legendary performer, has recently been treated for breast cancer. And like many in the community, she doesn't have good medical coverage, and treatment is very expensive!

To help defray some of the costs, Bunny Pistol's Barbary Coast Burlesque is dedicating a benefit show for Madame E on Wednesday, November 19, at Annie's Social Club in San Francisco. Here are all the details:

Madame E Benefit Show at Barbary Coast Burlesque

Barbary Coast Burlesque is proud to announce that we are dedicating this month's show to Madame E. Our November show will be a benefit in her honor. Madame E is a member of The Burlesque Hall of Fame who has been battling breast cancer. So, to ease some of her financial strain due to not being able to work and costly hospital bills, a few of us have come together to raise money by twirling and shaking our stuff!!! All money made at the door and raffle will be given to her.

Raffle? Yes, we will be raffling all kinds of great prizes!!

About our debut performer: Devillia de Dallas is a, hip-shakin, pistol-packin, fire- tassel twirlin, demonically inspired vixen that was rumoured to be shipwrecked inLondon, and has now washed up on our very own Barbary Coast. With liquor on her lips and a swagger in her hips, Devillia joined BurlyQ London and has been luring innocents with them and as a solo burlesque ritual killer since 2003. She stirred more than just hearts at many of London Town's fancy burlesque events including: The Whoopee Club, Institute for Contemporary Arts and The Hayward Gallery and she took trouble on the road with many festivals including Antwerp, Edinburgh, Glastonbury and 2005's Tease-O-Rama. You can see Devillia shake her fire tassels in Vince Ray and the Razorbacks "Jack the Ripper" video. Devillia de Dallas and fellow BurlyQ London member Delilah have recently launched a new excuse to make friends by taking off your clothes: Bang Bang Variety Hour.
