Dangerous Curves Ahead: Tuesday in San Francisco, Thursday in Sebastopol

This is just a reminder that the Dangerous Curves Ahead: Burlesque on the Go-Go tour is coming to a town near you! I've posted information on tomorrow's show at the Uptown in Oakland, but here's the rest of the information about their tour of the area.

Dangerous Curves Ahead: Burlesque on the Go-Go from Noel Benedetti on Vimeo.

Who is Dangerous Curves Ahead? They are five of the best known, most popular, and award-winning members of New York's burlesque community who have gotten together and are touring the West Coast this spring. Clams Casino, Anita Cookie, GiGi La Femme, Darlinda Just Darlinda, and Minnie Tonka are hitting the road and bringing their signature acts to stages on the West Coast. Hooray! If you've been reading about current burlesque artists in America, you've surely heard of these burlesque firecrackers!

On Tuesday, April 5, they'll be performing at Club Deluxe in San Francisco, located at 1511 Haight Street (map). It's a show being produced by Douglas Good of Little Minsky's fame, and it's being hosted by Scotty the Blue Bunny! The doors will open at 8:00 p.m., and the show will start at 9:00. Tickets will be $10.00, and you'll need to be at least 21 years of age to attend. Get there early to find a good seat!

Dangerous Curves Ahead - Little Minsky's Special Edition

Dangerous Curves Ahead, nationally renowned touring burlesque troupe from Brooklyn, hits San Francisco for a special edition Little Minsky's night of saucy shenanigans hosted by the notoriously tall and irrepressible Scotty the Blue Bunny. Dangerous Curves Ahead combines the choice talents of five ferociously fabulous long-time darlings of the New York burlesque scene who've been heating up glittery hot spots around the world as soloists and producing stellar sold-out shows at home when not touring the country as a troupe. So let's have a warm welcome for the charmingly inebriated and adorable Anita Cookie, the curvaceous and clever Clams Casino, the flamboyantly delightful Darlinda Just Darlinda, the stunningly gorgeous Gigi La Femme and sensational sparkling sexpot Minnie Tonka. It's a full steamy show of shimmy and shake from Dangerous Curves Ahead with lively tunes from Eugene Warren's Jazz Ensemble throughout the night. We'll see you at the bar...

Please join our first time host, Miss Honey Penny as we present "This Bud's for You" and we don't mean the beer! Red Hots Burlesque is still the hottest happy hour in town and this time it gets even happier as we celebrate the sticky stuff with AJ Molecular, Anita Cookie (NYC), Juicy D Light, Honey Lawless & NYC's Gigi & Pop!

About our debut & visiting performers:

Gigi & Pop are a music and variety trio from New York City that won the "Best Variety" trophy at the Burlesque Hall of Fame (Exotic World) in Las Vegas in 2009. Info, mp3s, video, photos and more can be found at www.gigiandpop.com.

Anita Cookie is the charmingly inebriated burlesque star whose sparkling singing voice, dynamite shimmy and intoxicated wit have been called everything from "hilarious" (NYTheater.com) to "sizzling hot" (Go Magazine). Originally hailing from the tan line-free shores of the Pacific, she took the stages of New York by storm and can be seen every night knocking audiences out of their chairs around the city, and across the continent from Key West to Toronto. A Golden Pastie Award winner at the New York Burlesque Festival, Anita is also one-third of the quirky music trio Gigi & Pop, winners of the first-ever "Best Variety Act" trophy at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Pageant 2009 in Las Vegas. As a producer, she's created boozier, more naked versions of classic game shows and talk shows, and with her partners in Casino-O'Fortune Cookie Productions she produces an ongoing series of sold-out shows at the famous Joe's Pub. Also, this spring Anita Cookie is back on the road with her traveling group, "Dangerous Curves Ahead: Burlesque On The Go-Go" for their premier west-coast tour!
