Weekly Show Roundup!
Hello Burlesque Fans!
The holiday season will continue to elate and/or plague us for the next month and then some NEW STRESS will take over, so the resources will stay here in this newsletter for a while.
Here are a few mental health resources just in case the holidays are not a joyous time for you.

Thin Ice Beneath Our Pleasers: A Nation in Flames
December 13th, 2024 Creepatorium, 1974 S Acoma St, Denver, CO
Join the 7th Annual International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers to reflect, resist, and heal at Creepatorium in Denver. As we mark seven years of community organizing in Colorado, we look back on the struggles we’ve faced—from the pandemic to political shifts—and honor the lives lost to violence. Together, we’ll create space for healing, solidarity, and radical joy. Open to all comrades in the collective struggle. Let’s make this a night of reflection, resilience, and revolutionary love.
Support an upcoming All Black Production in the works by a Colorado Springs Producer!
BiTCHHAÜS Productions is looking for some sponsorship for a show in February! Here is what Boujie Bitch had to say:
”For my shows, I pay performers and support a $50 minimum. For February, BıTCHHAÜS Productions is obviously going to put on an all black show, and I would like to pay them more than my normal amount. SO I need some support - I'm looking for sponsors for the show. If you have something we can throw into a giveaway/notraffle let me know, or you can simply support monetarily by pledging a dollar amount that will go directly to the cast and crew. Send me a message to let me know what you can do. ALSOOO the best and easiest way to support? Buy tickets, come watch the show, and tip these beautiful humans. And share this post to your network! Love yall”

Jesus Freak: An Ex-Vangelical Burlesque Show
December 14th, 2024 9:30pm Lion's Lair, 2022 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO
Purity. Be. Damned.
Welcome to Jesus Freak: An Ex-Vangelical Burlesque Show—a night of divine rebellion that should be titled "Religious Trauma: The Burlesque Show," but that's not great for marketing. Set to the nostalgic tunes of Christian labels we grew up with, this show blends the music of our churchgoing past with the fact that we all ended up doing ~*this*~ as adults.
Whether you're here for the hymns or the heresy, one thing's for sure: some of these songs were reeeeeeeeally catchy. Come get nostalgic while we get immodest at Lion's Lair on December 14th!
This week in Fort Collins!
