Never been to burlesque before? That's fine! Just a few things to keep in mind!
1. Have fun!
2. Take care of each other! That means no touching anyone without permission (including performers) and they will do the same for you! If you don't want a performer to interact with you, just give us a lil "nope" and we will move right along!
3. Let us know what you like! Tip! Hoot and Holler!
4. Don't be a genre snob! Endless breakdowns are hard to dance to.
4. Have fun again. Seriously. It's pretty hard not to have a good time at these!

Blassphemy! A Metal GoGo-Burlesque Show: Fathers of Metal Edition
21+
Alabastard Productions proudly presents Blassphemy, where sin, heavy music, and unholy debauchery collide! This isn’t your typical burlesque show—it's a metal-fueled, butt-shaking, boundary-breaking celebration that pushes our performers to unleash their inner sinner (or just inner headbanger). With extended stage time averaging 12-15 minutes per performance, each artist has the time to dig deep and really bring some nonsense to the stage, and into the crowd.
This month we pay homage to the rock gods that paved the way for early metal! The Fathers of Metal are going to SHRED while we shake it!
Expect beats from across the heavy music spectrum, mesmerizing Go-Go, and jaw-dropping stamina as these performers push the limits of what can be done onstage. Get ready for a night of raw energy, rebellious spirit, and unrestrained passion that’ll have you screaming for more!
