Well Ladies and Gentlemen, it's that time again! That is, it's time to get the skinny on what all is going on in Seattle's Burlesque and Cabaret Scenes. Here is my list!
This first
event on my list is a labor of Love. You
may or may not be aware but Seattle lost two long time members of its
performance art community in last week’s tragic shooting at Café Racer; Drew
Keriakedes and Joe Albanese. I did not
know these gentlemen myself, but many of my dear friends and artistic comrades
did. As easy as it would be to give into despair over the shooting and loss, it
is so much more important to take heart and cheer on the community as they pull
together to put on this first show.
Thursday 7th, “IT’S BEEN GOOD TA KNOW YA! A Benefit for Café Racer Victim’s Family Fund” at The Neptune
A Concert, Sing-a-long and Celebration of the lives of our dearly departed, featuring members of Circus Contraption, God's Favorite Beefcake and many, many, more!
8pm ($15 donation)
Help us celebrate the lives of our dear friends with music and dance, while helping the victims' families with financial assistance. Proceeds will directly benefit the families of the victims, the surviving victim, spouses left behind, and Cafe Racer. Money left over will be used to create a living memorial for the victims and scholarships in their name.

Back in January I started hosting a monthly cabaret at The Can
Can. For one night a month I get to
channel Joel Grey, tell stories, and take people on a journey into a dark and
hazy world. It’s a blast and I’d love to
see you there sometime!
Sunday 10th, “The Sound and Smoke Cabaret” at The Can Can
Return
to an era of decadence and debauchery, as our little band of misfits explore
the pre-WWII German Cabaret Er...a once again! New
acts, some new performers and a perfect way to end your weekend and get home
early on a Sunday night!

Shameless plug alert! You should come see me in this next event…
Monday 18th, “Starving Artists on Parade” at The Noc Noc
Starving
Artist on Parade is a variety night of true proportions. We look all over the Seattle
area looking for up and coming talent here in Seattle. Every third Monday at
the Noc Noc you can come and see the very best of what Seattle has to offer,
live music, burlesque, bellydancing, magic, mayhem and more!! Each month we
provide a wide gamut of talent from performers to vendors; eight performers,
four vendors, all for the low price of only $5!!!
Tuesday 19th, “Tuesday Tease: An Evening of
Burlesque with Live Accompaniment” at The LUCID
Tuesday tease is Seattle’s only bi-monthly burlesque revue
with live musical accompaniment! The
show brings together the musical styliens of the Lurid Spectacles (Meg van
Huygen, Tyson Lynn, Jono Green, Jeff Myers and Jen Nelson) and a rotating cast
of Seattle’s best burlesque artists to create an evening of eye-popping and
toe-tapping entertainment. Tuesday Tease
takes place at LUCID in the U District on the 3rd Tuesdays of the
month, in April, June, August, October and December.
Hosted by Sailor St. Claire, June’s show features burlesque
by Sir Eddie Van Glam, Lola Lockeheart, and Bitsy Rini!
Okay this one isn’t a burlesque show,
exactly, but there will be a lot of ‘showing’ going on, including some
burlesque, and just a whole lot of interesting, sexy, and just plain weird
stuff. J If you like burlesque, or happen to be a fan
of sex in any or all of its many varieties, it’s worth looking into!

I have had the great fortune of lending my talents as an emcee to this
quirky & macabaret (I’m coining that
phrase, but feel free to use it!). The
Blackmoor Travelling Picture Show is like The Addams Family crossed with an Old
World Troupe of Minstrels, and maybe the B-52s.
Fun right? You should check it
out!
Thursday 28th, “The Blackmoor Revue” at The Can Can
Join
the Blackmoor Travelling Picture Show as they present a wild cabaret of twisted
performance and music. Featuring new material and some very special friends,
each show will be a unique event you won't wanna miss!

Thursday 28th, “Westside Burlesque Revue” at The Skylark
For those of your on
the Westside, here is an opportunity for some ecdysiastic entertainment. The 4th Thursday of every month
bring the Westside Burlesque Revue at The Skylark Café. Producer Whisper De Corvo imports artists
from across the water (well the bridge at least) to put on this show.
Intimate, fun, and
affordable, this show is a great night out for you West Seattlelites!
Calling all Seattle
geeks, nerds, sci-fi fans and anglophiles, this next show is meant for
you! Ever wonder what happens inside
that blue box? Some of Seattle’s geekiest burlesquers are coming together
(snerk) to share their TARDIS inspired fantasies with you. The Doctor is in… but which of his Companions
is receiving? Is it Rose Tyler or Sarah
Jane Smith? Maybe Donna Noble (nah, they’re just mates!)? What about pan-sexual
Jack Harkness, or the incorrigable River Song?
It might not look it from the outside, but behind the blue door there is
room for them all!
Friday 29th & Saturday 30th, “Behind the Blue Door” at The Annex
Theatre
Behind
The Blue Door: A Dr. Who-inspired Cabaret is our sexy, silly take on the
Whoniverse. Join us for an evening of burlesque, dance and more as we shimmy,
shake, tease, and twirl our way across time and space with the help of a
tarted-up TARDIS. With eleven Doctors, multiple companions, several spin-off
shows, and an entire universe to explore anything can happen!
