High Holy Days, Batman!
SpeakEasily is throwing a BURLESQUE BLOWOUT this Tuesday, September 21st!
Dig on this: Three beautiful ladies of the burlesque, one swinging slamswing band, one mystical comedian, a disgruntled uke-playing sailor, AND all the Meter Dancers you can grab!
All for just $6!
BUT WAIT…there’s a SPECIAL DEAL: Wear a FEZ and get in for just $4!!! (Why? Why the hell not?)
You and your fez will shake a leg or three with COMFY CHAIR!The worlds last, and first, time traveling band, COMFY CHAIR is a high voltage tribute to the Jazz Age, peddling their own patented genre of music: SLAMSWING, a hybrid of hot swing jazz et rock moderne!
AND YES, like I said before -- it’s a burlesque blowout with EVA VON SLUT and the DEBAUCHEROUS DOLLS! These girls have the curves and the moves and they are not afraid to use them! And how!
But what would a night at SpeakEasily be without a sailor?! CRACKER JACK SALTEEN is dropping in! Did The Ramones and Rudy Vallee have a lovechild?
AND a special appearance by MR. MYSTIC! Beware: he might hypnotize you into buying him a drink.
AND, of course, THE MILE HIGH METER DANCERS, those ravishing rowdy rabble rousers, can be all yours for the duration of a song (in exchange for just a few bucks tucked discreetly in a garter or perhapsin a more creative place). They are professionals! Professional whats, I don’t know.
For crying out loud, let's get hot!
