World Premiere: The Knock Knock Hot Spot
Saturday night, director and performer Mae Phillips gathers her friends in the burlesque community for a night billed as "bizarre, theatrical, empowering burlesque". The event is queer-friendly, involves a wide variety of bodies and definitions of "sexy", and lots of crystal-covered tease. Plus it offers a few departures from the genre. Phillips has been around the burlesque block long enough to know what she wants in a good show, so there's no emcee, and instead between acts the stage will pop with snippets of vaudevillian performance or informative sex talk from the likes of Early 2 Bed.
