Uptown Hubba Hubba for Monday, May 11, 2009

Is there Room for Cream with Kingfish and Eddie around while they're navigating Dangerous Curves (and Dangerous Dan) on the Sid Scenic route? Will they be blinded by the Juicy D. Light from the candles of the birthday cake? Does any of that make any sense? No? At least I got in some of the acts appearing at Uptown Hubba Hubba Monday in Oakland!

Yes sirree! By far the best way to spend your Monday night in Oakland is at the Uptown Nightclub. Not only will the aforementioned acts be performing, but they'll be part of a big, big show. And how can you beat the price of $5? A cornucopia of live performances for less than the price of a matinee at the cinemas. Wowzas!

Howdy Friends!

The best Monday night in show business just got even better! Hubba Hubba Revue returns to the UPTOWN CLUB with one of the biggest, most incredible shows you'll ever get to see at recession-era prices! Heck, it'd cost you more money to stay home!

MONDAY, May 11th, we've got:

JUICY D. LIGHT! (with Rubenesque Burlesque! --and it's her birthday, too!)
Sid Scenic!
Vixen Noir !
Room For Cream!
Wiggy Darlington & Vima Burlesque!
Ariyana La Fey!
Monifa!
Dangerous Curves!
(with Dangerous Dan!)
Zip the What-Is-It?

...and everybody's favorite drunks/MC's, Kingfish & Eddie!

All for a mere FIVE BUCKS!

Doors 9PM, Show 10:15PM

Bunny Hut Burlesque cancelled...but across the bay there's Knocktoberfest!

Yes, bad news...October's Bunny Hut Burlesque has been cancelled. And according to a MySpace bulletin Bunny Pistol posted, there won't be one until December. And no Eddie Dane as host...

On the other hand, Eddie's partner in crime, Kingfish, will be hosting Knocktoberfest across the bay at the Uptown Nightclub In Oakland! Join Dangerous Curves (including my buddy, sASSy Hotbuns!) as they put on a burlesque show backed by a live '80s band, Fast Times. Proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen For The Cure fund to fight breast cancer. A worthy cause! And fun!

** Knocktoberfest **

Come join us at The Uptown on October 11th for an evening of hot burlesque acts and cool 80's music to fight breast cancer!

• Fabulous emcee, Kingfish
• Live 80’s music by Fast Times
• Live burlesque performances by Dangerous Curves, Rubenesque Burlesque, Chi Chis Del Fuego, Miss Balla Fire, Holly High Beams, Beauty LaBomb, & more!
• Meet the Silicon Valley Roller Girls
• Charity karaoke with Fast Times -- sing on stage!
• Kissing booth, exams for your mams, and other fun stuff!
• Proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen For The Cure

If you've never seen live burlesque, it's hot stuff. If you've never seen live burlesque performed with a live backing band... that's because it's rarely done! The burlesque dancers are preparing special routines to 80s songs that FT will play live -- and FT will be debuting some new material just for the event. It promises to be a scandalous night for anyone 21 and over.

And yes -- for any of you who have ever wanted to SING with Fast Times, Elektro and Chynna will be relinquishing the microphone to the highest bidders on a handful of songs.

This may never happen again!

The venue for this special event is The Uptown - 1928 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland.

The Uptown serves fantastic drinks, is literally a block from BART, and was just voted the Best of the Bay '08 for both Best Rock Club and Best Burlesque Show -- so you're getting both in one night!

Doors open at 9pm, and we're asking for a $10 minimum donation.

We're very proud to be organizing this event.

Please, come out to support a good cause and see Fast Times like you've never seen it before!

Okay. Say you're absolutely against going across a bridge. All is not lost! Tease-O-Rama MC Kitten on the Keys is appearing with local ecdysiast Mariel A la Mode at Teatro ZinZanni's Cabaret Lunatique! Saturday, October 11 only!

From what I gather, Cabaret Lunatique is on the Embarcadero (at Battery) in the Teatro Zinzanni tent at Pier 29. El Vez hosts, and there are various cabaret acts. The show starts at 11pm and runs about three hours. Best of all, it's "only" $20. Considering that the usual Teatro Zinzanni show is about $100, I may go just to see what's in the tent. Hehe.

There are also shows featuring different performers on October 25 and November 8. For more information, and to purchase tickets, please visit http://love.zinzanni.org/cabaret.htm.

A fond adieu to Madame Maraschino's House of Burlesque on Saturday, July 26

It looks like the long-running House of Burlesque produced by Madame Maraschino is coming to an end. She has mentioned in a MySpace bulletin that she's moving to the East Bay and that Bunny Pistol will be producing a show at Bender's called "Bunny Hut Burlesque" starting in September.

However, it doesn't all end until after Saturday's show, so you still have one more chance to get out and see what all the fuss was about. Here is the bulletin that MM sent out:

That is right, kids! I'm movin on from producing dangerous curves to explore other dangerous ventures.

My last House of Burlesque will be Saturday, July 26th, so come out and say hello to me, good-bye to a very much loved & long running show, AND especially enjoy all of THE VERY TALENTED performers that made House of Burlesque what it is! I can't even tell you how much I love all of you!

I will be co-producing this show with and passing the torch to a very good friend of mine, Bunny Pistol, whom I know will continue to rock Benders in a very naughty manner! Look for her first show “Bunny Hut Burlesque” at Benders in September!

We have an awesome line up with music by Horror-X and The Vaudvilles!
A burlesque showcase with: Isis Starr, Esperanza, Bunny Pistol, Miss DeMinna, Sassy Hotbuns, Dangerous Curves, Ameana Darkheart, sultry torch singer Velvet Siren & your most dignified & charming host, KINGFISH! AND my favorite DJ Chas Gaudi!

I will eventually set up the HOB again in the future, but slowly relocating all business affairs to the East Bay. So, watch out for everything MARASCHINO in the EB!

Love & Poison Cherry Kisses to all!
~MM

I remember that this was one of the first shows I ever attended that was in a bar in the Mission. I still remember MM waving and smiling at me. I'm sure we'll all miss her until she resurfaces again!
