Hot Todd Lincoln Presents April Fools! Burlesque and Comedy with Mourna Handful this Saturday!

Burlesque and Comedy at the Bier Baron

Hot Todd Lincoln has put together a cast of the most outrageous burlesque and comedy that you’ll find anywhere. Richmond’s Deanna Danger draws inspiration from picnics, and 80′s TV shows. Kay Sera assumes the persona of a Jon Waters character, and explores the deeper meaning of one of Queen’s most beloved hits. Maria Bella brings an 8 legged attack of awesome, while also making you rethink your attractions to heavy metal guitarists. Mourna Handful well make you a cow lover, while also taking you back to a time of opulence. The cast is rounded out by Tyler Richardson, a comedian who is well known in DC, MD, and VA, and who’s now NYC by storm with a casual tone, and friendly presence. You do not want to miss this show!

Black Tassel Boolesque Presents- Black Heart Burlesque on Valentines Day in the District!

Just after New Year’s Eve, you start to feel anxious. Your palms get sweaty, your heart begins to race, you feel twitchy; you can’t figure out why you have this sudden sense of impending dread. And then it happens. You walk into a store one day and realize consumer culture has barfed up pink and red everywhere! That impending doom you’re feeling is the approach of Valentine’s Day, the holiday everyone loves to hate.

But not Black Tassel Boolesque. We love Valentine’s Day. We love to drive a stake right through its little Hallmark heart with our brand of independent, free-spirited, and twisted burlesque. And we invite you to join us.

Helping BTB’s EYRIE TWILIGHT, MOURNA HANDFUL, and VALERIA VOXX tie Cupid to the sacrificial pyre are special guests CHERRY BROWN—”the sweetest thing this side of the Mississippi”—from New Orleans and DC’s newest bellydancer and twisted contortionist, ALYSSUM POHL! The empowered MISSY AGGRAVATION is our stage anti-Cupid and that heartbreaker HOT TODD LINCOLN serves as MC for the evening.

So don’t sit around on February 14th watching sappy movies and gorging on frozen dairy products! Come join us as we explore the twisted side of love, celebrate the independence of singledom, and bare our hearts for you! You do know what hearts resemble, right?
