The Parkside Lounge

When Stan Lee started writing comics, and creating characters that would later make millions, the audience wasn't the whole damn country, it was just impressionable young boys. Their parents worried the funny books' malign influence would turn their kids into juvenile delinquents. Or perverts. Or, possibly, Communists. We welcome all three into our audience (juvenile delinquents over 21 only) as we celebrate The Man himself. Come out to salute the Juggernaut of imagination, the Daredevil of the printed page, the Magneto of creative energy, the Stilt Man of... well, they weren't ALL great characters.

This month, Excelsior Burlesque is happy to mark the first year of its salacious celebration of nerd culture. Sufra Gent dazzles you with his special power eye, as Minnie d'Moocha takes deadly aim with hers. Mary Cyn gets you into a sticky situation, and Fem Appeal gets you smashed. Ruby Solitaire brings you The World's Greatest Burlesque. And we just can't chase Kat Mon Dieu out of all the rest of the acts!! Plus Charles Stunning puts you under her spell as the gogo artiste for the evening.

'Nuff Said.

Featuring the Excelsior Burlesque Bullpen:

Hey, remember 2013? Royal baby. Government shutdown. Gandalf and Captain Picard bromacing it up all over town. Shibe memes, a new Pope, the Harlem Shake, and the birth of Excelsior Burlesque here in NYC! Well, its a brand new year, we're at a brand new venue, and we're recapping some of Excelsior's thighlights of the year, to help you settle in and start your new year right.

Dangrr Doll makes us all a lot little hot under the collar as she returns with a devilish number from our very first show. From the pages of Alan Moore, Anja Keister brings you the best act you'll never see. Ruby Solitaire protests all these repressive decency laws, and Stella Chuu cleans up her act as she dirties up your mind, with acts from our tribute to the Occupy movement. Zoe Ziegfeld reminisces about all the wild things from our Reading Rainboobs show, and Stormy Leather reprises the act that summed up our Neil Gaiman show . . . not to mention a very special performance by Kat Mon Dieu to celebrate a fantastic year to come!

On Monday, January 13th at 9 PM, Excelsior Burlesque brings you a cavalcade of some of the best acts we've seen all year! Come out and see us explode at our new home, Parkside Lounge, at 317 East Houston St. BOOM! The Best of 2013!!!

So, it is with great pleasure we bring you our next burlesque tribute to a nerdy pop icon, Joss Whedon!
