The Scarlet Ladders at Red Hots Burlesque this Friday, February 25

The Scarlet Ladders will be making their Red Hots Burlesque debut this Friday at El Rio, which is located at 3158 Mission Street in San Francisco (map). They are a San Francisco-based cabaret/burlesque duo who perform on elevated stages (ladders).

In the next few months, they'll be performing at various shows around the area, including the Hubba Hubba Revue at the Uptown in Oakland, Curvicious at the Blue Macaw in San Francisco, and another Red Hots show in March. For more information about this group, please visit thescarletladders.com.

Also making her debut at RHB this week will be Babraham Lincoln of Sin Sisters Burlesque! You'll not want to wait four score and seven years to see this beauty!

Lucille Highball
will be visiting from Los Angeles, and Miss Mae Western will be taking a break for a few months, so this will be one of the last chances for you to see her perform. She'll also be performing this Sunday evening at The Polk Street Lounge Burlesque & Comedy Show at the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco. See the SFBR calendar for details.

And the Stripping Granny will be a special guest! Lastly, Dottie Lux herself will be performing, so it promises to be a very good show with lots of intriguing performers.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m., but get there early for a good spot from which to see the show!

Red Hots flier, February 25, 2011

Come with your sense of humor, get ready to hoot and holler. Red Hots Burlesque brings you the "city's best" bump and grind at the "happiest hour" in the bay!

SF's Only Weekly Burlesque show is BACK!

Friday!
Feb 25th
El Rio
3158 Mission St San Francisco
7:30pm sliding scale $5-10, 21 and Up

Come celebrate the happiest hour in the Bay with Red Hots Burlesque, THE BEST in BUMP and GRIND! This week we will be welcoming 2 RHB debuts, 1 visiting performer and a few RHB favs including Miss Mae Western, who will be leaving the country for several months, so this is your last chance (for a while) to toss one back with everyone's favorite sassy sister.

Performances by: Lucille Highball, Babraham Lincoln, Miss Mae Western, The Scarlet Ladders, and Dottie Lux. With special guest the Stripping Granny!

About our debut performers:
Steps Above Cabaret! An answer to the desire for close-up entertainment in venues without a stage, The Scarlet Ladders were formed with the intent to perform in areas among and within the audience. The performers, mounted on elevated 'stages,' maximize the audience's sight-line without disruption. The spectators remain comfortably standing, seated or otherwise grouped, giving them the opportunity to relax and enjoy the show which might happen to be right next to them.

At least twice as hot as Mary Todd, Babraham Lincoln is a member of Sin Sisters Burlesque from Santa Cruz. She has recently performed at Uptown Hubba Hubba and First Friday Follies in Oakland. Babe has a taste for fine whiskey and tap dancing.
