Looking for a mischievous mix of showgirls, drag, ukuleles, clownish cavorting, comedic cabaret and stylish striptease? Well then join as at Little Minsky’s where we’ll be sipping cocktails to playful tunes from The Paper Dolls, Wiggy Darlington and McPuzo & Trotksy. Laughing along with humour artists Felicity Hesed & Texas. And basking in the glow of burlesque beauties The Scenic Sisters, Flame Cynders, Mynx d’Meanor and ElectriKat. We have two special guest performers for the night – Sahara Dunes, Portland’s Carribean Sapphic Burlesque Sweetheart, and from New York, the boylesque wonder that is Manchego. Our hostess is the star of countless musical theater productions, drag clubs and piano bars – the notoriously charming Trauma Flintstone. Performances run from 10 ’till midnight, so swing by, settle in with some tasty tonics and enjoy the show…

Almost all of the performers are donating their talents for this show. Last time we raised $600+ to benefit an injured performer. This time we are hoping to raise $1,500.

The first 100 guests will get a gift bag from Whole Foods who has also generously agreed to match a % of the funds raised in Whole Foods gift cards so come out and help us get every penny we can for out-of-work, recently-laid-off, under-employed actors/dancers/comedians/musicians/variety performers! All beneficiaries will receive gift cards to whole foods with a guide to “buying on a budget” at Whole Foods.
