Reggie's Rock Room Presents NERDLESQUE 4/16

By:

New Millennium Theatre Company (NMTC) presents a special performance of The Flaming Dames, Chicago's premiere concept burlesque troupe, in ‘Nerdlesque' at Reggie's Rock Room.

On April 16, in honor of Chicago's newest Comic and Exhibition Expo C2E2, The Flaming Dames, Chicago's premier concept burlesque troupe, are bringing your favorite ladies from cartoons, comics, and the silver screen to life...and taking it all off in Nerdlesque for a special one-night only performance at Reggie's Rock Room located at 2105 S. State Street; just a stone's throw from the convention. This special event is sponsored by Chicago's Challengers Comics & Conversations and the popular Hack Slash comic now from Image Comics!

Nerdlesque is the ultimate fantasy-tease destined to make thought bubbles burst! Dressed as the sexiest hotties from the world of comic books, science fiction, Tarantino films and 80's cartoons, the Dames are making adolescent dreams come true while revealing their "secret identities" right before your eyes. And in the midst of it all, ultimate Nerd Host JangoFett69 and Super-Douche Randy clash while learning a valuable lesson about the inner geek inside of us all. So, if you've ever wondered what your favorite characters look like stripped down to the bare minimum, then strap yourself in, ‘True Believer'! The Flaming Dames in ‘Nerdlesque' at Reggie's Rock Room is an evening you will not want to miss!
