Events 2/2/10

There are SO many things going on this weekend! If you don’t get out to see some ass, you’re not lookin’!

THURSDAY
Vaudezilla’s Heartbreakers Burlesque Free Bartop Burlesque Show
10:00pm (SHARP!)
No Cover Charge
Blue Bayou Bar & Grill, 3734 N Southport Ave

what you can expect
The show starts right at 10pm and usually it’s standing room only. The bar will be packed with Northsiders and “Friends of Burlesque.” Since the girls dance on the bartop, you’ll get a great show from anywhere in the house. You’re not doing anything Thursday night anyways. Service is slow and drink specials aren’t THAT great, but you’re getting a free show so shut the hell up and enjoy your $4 Bud Light.

FRIDAY
Bon V Burlesque
9pm Open Bar; 10pm Show
Bon V, 1100 W Randolph Ave
Reservations Required

what you can expect
Seems like a clubby, hip affair. I don’t know much about this. But I bet you’re gonna see some really sexy, polished burlesque (there are only 3 performers and they’re all fantastic) in a club setting. So ample opportunity to pick up chicks rockin’ those Bumpits. tottering in stilettos & knit dresses, bib rhinestone necklaces, and smokey eyes.

Varietease Cabaret
10:30 PM
Lakeshore Theater, 3175 N Broadway
$15.00 tickets

what you can expect
This is a real stage show! You get to sit in a padded seat! In an Auditorium!

You’re going to get a great mix of different kinds of burlesque performances, and the crowd will be just as varied. Not only are you gonna get plenty of Lakeviewers wandering in already toasted, but for those who haven’t imbibed enough to heckle tits– Lakeshore theater has a bar! There will be lots of hooting and hollering. But the host Backdoor Aly, and the live band keep the show moving at an energetic pace. Expect a packed house—buy tickets in advance.

what to expect
The Flaming Dames are a tight knit troupe who always put on a fun, polished show. You will see awesome groups acts and unique solos, shit like suspended hoop dancing! Acts are edgy and comedic. The show goes on in the 2nd level of The Spot, on a raised stage. If you arrive early you can grab one of the tables in the front to enjoy the show. The crowd is a good mix of well-dressed older Uptowner’s who’d fit in at the nearby Green Mill, and ex-goths & club kids who love the Flaming Dames’ trademark edginess. (Disclaimer: I saw their Halloween show there, so my experience might have been a bit different). Anyways, Go See IT!

You can get half-price tickets here! I bet they’ll go fast, so snatch that shit up now!
