Blacklist Burlesque is back with a brand-new burlesque tribute to a cultural icon. Fresh off the success of their Game Of Thrones: Burlesque Is Coming tribute, Blacklist producer Moxie LaBouche and her gang of talented performers are back at it with a tribute to legendary comedy auteur Mel Brooks! Game Of Thrones: Burlesque Is Coming followed a successful Richmond run with an equally popular tour, finally returning home for an unprecedented encore performance that sold out just as quickly as its earlier local performances had. With all of this in mind, it seems prudent to get your tickets now, while the getting’s good, for (T)High Anxiety!

Featuring performances by many favorites of the RVA burlesque scene, this event will bring together a cast as silly as they are sexy, featuring Bella LaBlanc, Anna Steasya, Moxie LaBouche, Dante The Inferno, Cherry Canary, Mina Corbeau, and Zadora Zaftig, along with Ray Bullock in the role of the 2,000 Year Old Man (taking topics from the audience) and host Brett Zwerdling as Yogurt from Spaceballs. Find out exactly why “it’s good to be the king” this Saturday night with some of the hottest babes in RVA. And of course, keep in mind that no one will be seated during the “roll in the hay” sequence–and that doesn’t sound like something you’ll want to miss, so show up on time!

WHAT: (T)High Anxiety: A Burlesque Tribute to Mel Brooks!
WHERE: Gottwald Playhouse at Richmond CenterStage, 600 E. Grace St
WHEN: Saturday, November 1, Doors open at 8 PM
ADMISSION: $12 in advance–order tickets HERE

The best part, of course, is that your pals at RVA Magazine might just be able to get you in for free! Plug your info into the Punchtab box below, and keep an eye out for extra chances to win. On Friday at noon, we’ll shut this shindig down and pick a winner, who will receive a pair of tickets to (T)High Anxiety! You know you want that to be you–what are you waiting for?
