TONIGHT! 8 PM: Monsters of Burlesque!!!

OK, kiddies, here’s something you don’t get to see in Dayton very often: Fresh from the Slipper Room and other cool venues in the Big Apple, the one and only “Monsters of Burlesque” show has arrived in Dayton… They’re playing TONITE at 8 PM till 10 at Gilly’s downtown.

The reason I know they’re there and ready to rock is because (full disclosure!) the troupe involves my brother and my sister-in-law, who do this performance art as a respectful nod to the old days of 1950s-era burlesque… You know, the whole Gypsy Rose Lee, fan and feathers stuff… along with a lot of the power of suggestion. Hint hint, wink wink.

I’ve seen the show in NYC, and it is a lot of fun. We’re heading down right now with some friends to see something that Dayton doesn’t get very often, performance-wise…. See you at the show!!! You won’t regret it.

$10 at the door, btw.
