The Kiss Kiss Cabaret, a Chicago-based neo-vaudeville, burlesque cabaret, has announced the details of its grand opening gala event at the Greenhouse Theater Center and post-show celebration at Kendall's Bar on February 4, 2011.

Comedy! Magic! Girls! Free drinks! The grand opening of the Kiss Kiss Cabaret promises to be an incredible night and a slam-bang introduction to Chicago's new weekly burlesque revue! Every one of the beautiful Kiss Kiss Cabaret Coquettes will demonstrate an eye-popping display of the striptease arts! Master of ceremonies Mr. Max Flattery will lead the audience through a few slightly tipsy singalongs, and introduce a variety of acts, including stand-up comedy by Adam Burke, magic by the Amazing Tomas and juggling derring-do by That Juggling Guy, Mr. Brad French! Original comedic musical accompaniment will be provided by the Claptrap Family Orchestra, featuring Ken Raabe on guitar, Mike Gallinari on bass and the accordion skills of Mazurka Wojciechowska. With a special appearance by alternative host and emcee Mr. Stick!

After the show, the audience will step right next door to Kendall's Bar for free food and open bar until 2am! The Coquettes and the rest of the cast will be there to dance the night away!

The Kiss Kiss Cabaret is directed by Chris O. Biddle and produced by Jenn Kincaid, with choreography by Erica Reid, and technical assistance by Greg Inda and Jason Shivers.
