Those Freaking Weirdos are at it again!

Those Freaking Weirdos are at it again! The monthly Brews & Burlesque event that brings together comically scandalous performances from this local neo-burlesque troupe and great craft beer from Strangeways Brewing has been bumped up a week, and will be happening this month only on First Friday, June 6! The art walk is awesome, but by the time Brews & Burlesque gets going, the galleries should be winding down–and besides, what could be more artful than scantily-clad dancers pulling comedic, acrobatic stunts while you drink craft beer? Nothing! Therefore, it’s in your best interests to wrap up your First Friday this month in the company of Those Freaking Weirdos and Strangeways Brewing for the June 2014 edition of Brews & Burlesque!

The usual cast of characters–Moxie LaBouche, Melody Magpie, Dante The Inferno, and your hostess with the mostest, Dev L. Ish–will all be in attendance, but that’s not all you can look forward to. Local impresario and king of RVA burlesque Buster Britches will also be on hand, displaying all the haunting and delightful moves that have earned him the title of Creepshow Casanova! Those who’ve caught his recent presentations of the Rehab Movie Brunch at Fallout know what’s up, and those who haven’t should definitely come down to Strangeways this month and see what Buster’s got to offer! The event will also feature stage kitten Bubble Lee, and as always, pre-show and intermission music, as well as sound and lighting, will be provided by DJ Jesse James Felice. So it should be a good time!

WHAT: Brews & Burlesque–June First Friday Edition!
WHERE: Strangeways Brewing, 2277A Dabney Rd
WHEN: Friday, June 6, 9 PM
ADMISSION: $8 in advance, $10 at the door–order tickets HERE
