Midwest Nerdlesque Fest

The Midwest Nerdlesque Festival Brings Burlesque Nerd-ery to the Kent Stage This November Starring Bazuka Joe, Babia Majora, and featuring Spikey Van Dykey, Delhi Marquette, and Verna Vendetta. Nerdlesque began in the late 1980s with living burlesque legend, Pillow, and combines burlesque, drag, and variety performance with all things nerdy—pop culture, movies, TV shows, comic books, video games, or whatever makes a performer “geek out.” Expect to see performances drawing inspiration from Harry Potter, Speed Racer, the Marvel Universe, Greek mythology, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I Love Lucy, Star Wars, Disney, and so much more.
