"Picture it, you walk into a smoke-filled cabaret room, while Robin Wood sings into a golden microphone, martini glasses klink as laughter falls from perfectly painted red lips in the audience. And those cigarette things, the long ones, yeah there is a lot of those - like everybody has one - where do you even buy one of those? Oh, there is a vendor in the corner selling them, and they are rhinestoned, that’s fancy!"
The first of hopefully many events put on by Robin Wood!
An Art Deco evening of classic martinis and classic titties. Enjoy swooning over the incredible local burlesque legends Cinnamon Kicks, Scarlett Hummingbird, Pacific Blue, and Legzie Blaze while they bring you sultry classic burlesque inspired acts. Feather fans, boas and more!
Your two drag king hosts Ruffin Durdy and Robin Wood will serenade you throughout the evening with Sinatra-esque drag numbers and onstage steamy chemistry.
***** THERE WILL ACTUALLY BE NO SMOKING INDOORS BUT LIKE YOU CAN TOTALLY PUT A CANDY CIGARETTE IN THE LONG CIGARETTE THINGS AND FEEL REALLY VIBEY AND ALSO TAKE BIG BITES OUT OF IT
1920’s Flapper and Dapper attire encouraged
The Marvelous Miss Sarah OO will being performing stand up comedy at intermission in the lounge area.
