San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for June 16 - June 22, 2011

Here is this week's schedule of burlesque around the Bay. If you know of some shows that aren't on here, please let me know! Facebook recently remodeled their events listings, and some show invites weren't returned to my list, so I may be missing a show or two. But of the shows that are still on my calendar, there looks to be some "can't miss" events coming up.

This is the weekend that World Famous *BOB* visits the Bay Area once again. Although she lived here for a while, she's visiting from New York City, so catch her while you can! She'll be performing at Red Hots Burlesque on Friday, RHB and Burlesque Moulin's Dog and Pony Show on Saturday, and she'll be conducting workshops on Sunday. Please see previous post for details.

Another unusual event will be the Hubba Hubba Revue's Flying Saucer Beach Party on Father's Day at the DNA Lounge. What makes it unique is that it's a daytime show! Doors open at 2:00 p.m., and the show goes on until 8:00 p.m. There will be burlesque, some kind of swimsuit contest, dancing, music, special guests, and more! Bring your father to the show!

Another unique happening on Saturday will be the 1st Annual Pirate Ball at the Benicia Arsenal Clocktower. If you'll be in the East Bay this Saturday night, this will be the place to be... to see pirate burlesque! Arrrr, mateys! Among the performers will be some members of Bombshell Betty's Burlesqueteers.

For all of you folks in the Santa Cruz area, the Sin Sisters Burlesque will be once again performing at the Catalyst Club on Saturday. This time, they'll be performing in the Atrium with band Beso Negro!

San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for February 17-23, 2011

Looking over the shows for the upcoming week, it seems that there's a bit of a love hangover.

From "Love Stinks" with Naked Girls Reading, to Burlesque Moulin's "Amour, the Many Faces of Love," to a Debauchery Valentine's celebration, love is still in the air, no matter what it smells like! So if you still don't want to let the holiday go, there's still some opportunities to extend the season. In addition to buying all that clearance candy, of course!

But there's also shows that don't have that theme. So there's a good variety to be had this week. And if you're an artist, Dr. Sketchy's SF will be featuring the Bay Area Derby Girls. Always fun subjects to draw!

Have fun!

• Thursday, February 17: Naked Girls Reading: San Francisco presents "LOVE STINKS" at Viracocha in San Francisco, 998 Valencia Street (map).

Original Sin Burlesque and Debauchery this weekend

This weekend, catch Original Sin Burlesque at two show: Their own show at Sanctuary Ultra Lounge on Saturday, January 15, and the 3rd Annual Forbidden Island Zombie Night at Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge in Alameda on Sunday evening, January 16. Zombie burlesque!

The second Saturday of the month means that there will be burlesque in downtown Livermore. Check out the lovely ladies of Original Sin Burlesque at the Sanctuary Ultra Lounge, which is located at 2369 First Street (map). The show starts at 10:00 p.m., and the cover is $5.00.

Then on Sunday, OSB will be turning themselves into zombies for the 3rd Annual Forbidden Island Zombie Night at Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge in Alameda, 1304 Lincoln Avenue (map). In addition to the burlesque, there will be makeup artists, dancing, and a trivia contest.

3rd Annual Forbidden Island Zombie Night

You fled from the scattered, shambling undead that came staggering up to your farmhouse. Armed only with a cricket bat, you managed to evade the ravening revenants roving in the streets. You held up for a while in a shopping mall with some other survivors, only to face slow starvation. Making a break for it, you braved hordes of hungry ghouls in a frantic scramble to the marina. A boat! The open sea! Your only hope!

Twenty-...eight days later, delirious from thirst, you finally spy a speck of land on the horizon. An island! Salvation! Washing up on the mysterious beach, you cast about for a fruity drink when a chorus of ghastly moans rises from just beyond the treeline.

Oh no! You’ve landed on FORBIDDEN ZOMBIE ISLAND!

Sunday, January 16th, from 5 pm - 11 pm, Zombie Night returns for it's 3rd Annual installment to Forbidden Island. No Cover. 21+.

* Hula like a ghoul-a to the haunting tunes spun by DJ Fitz!

* Test out your cranial capacity before the hordes get your brains with an all new zombie trivia contest.

* Guests arriving in zombie makeup will receive a free special drink!

* Still have a pulse? Get Zombiefied by our in house make-up artist, Rebecca Roman. Only $10 per person, bring cash!

** And, as an extra special treat, a very undead burlesque performance by Original Sin!

Brought to you by those big, tasty brains at Forbidden Island. It promises to be an evening of infectious good fun!

And remember, kids: “In the brain and not the chest, rum shots are the very best.”
