Liquor Pie Speakeasy at Odde's Music Grill, 9975 Wadsworth Pkwy #2, Westminster, CO
Spring is sprung—and the MAY-HEM has begun! Blue Dime Cabaret is busting out the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully wacky for a full-frontal variety explosion. Burlesque? Of course. Comedy? Naturally. Drag, danger, and delightful nonsense? Always. Come see why we’ve been called “quirky, provocative, and zany”—and how we put the va-va-VOOM in variety.
Blassphemy: A Metal Go-Go Burlesque Show Fathers of Metal Edition
May 10th, 2025
9:30pm
Lion's Lair, 2022 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO
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!
