The entertainment for the evening skips the saccharine and gets straight to the bawdy business of bump and grind. DJ Joe Black of Midnight Spookshow will be spinning between performances by the best of Chicago burlesque. An assortment far sweeter than your average box of Whitman's chocolates, featured performers include Pearl Pistol, Red Hot Annie, Backdoor Aly of Varietease Cabaret, boylesque sensation Hot Toddy, Dizzy Lizzy Delicious, The Honey Buns, The Amazing Tomas and the Belmont Bombshells.

Embrace your inner burlesque demon and show up dressed to thrill. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress in festive black, red or burlesque inspired costumes, with cash prizes for the best dressed in attendance.

Shine up those stilettos, lace up your corset and grab some glitter for good measure. The night of sexy fun takes place on Friday, February 13th at the Abbey Pub (3420 W. Grace). Doors open at 8pm, burlesque performances begin at 9pm and run throughout the evening. Tickets are $15 at the door, $12 in advance at http://www.abbeypub.com.
