Burlesque-A-Pades/A Christmas Shimmy

Founder of the longest running burlesque festival, as well as winner of countless awards, the Italian Stallionette (aka burlesque queen Angie Pontani) is as entrepreneurial as she is entertaining. Her crowd-pleasing and crowd-teasing acts will get you into a special kind of holiday mood this evening. Hosted by illusionist Albert Cadabra, a “professional, award-winning, comedy sideshow magician who delivers powerful, amazing and devilishly wild magic,” tonight’s show should be over-the-top as Cadabra will eat razor blades, hammer spikes into his face and electrocute himself. And he’ll somehow manage not to seriously injure himself in the process. (Niesel)
