About The Show
EPIC WIN Burlesque is the nerdiest burlesque show in town, having produced sexy and geeky tributes to electronic interactive entertainments ("Video Game Vixens"), Saturday morning animation ("CARTOONS!"), the caped crusader ("Holy Shit...BATMAN!"), Ghostbusters ("GHOSTBUSTERS!") and the most impassioned geek argument of our time ("The Star Debate: Trek vs. Wars") since forming in 2009. Last year they also stormed the stage of Nerdapalooza, an annual "nerdcore" music festival in Orlando, FL and shot a feature photo spread for UK magazine Bizarre.This April, the naked and nerdy misfits of EPIC WIN Burlesque will return to their home at the Tank Theater in NYC with an all-new production entitled "Rated R for Violence." Bloodthirsty hosts Nelson Lugo and Schaffer the Darklord will honor unforgettable scenes from some of cinema's most violent classics with a little tassel-twirling help from EPIC WIN stars BB Heart, Lefty Lucy, Mary Cyn, Victoria Privates, Fem Appeal and Nasty Canasta. This messy evening will feature blood-soaked acts based on such films as A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, Carrie and American Psycho, to name a few.
EPIC WIN Burlesque presents "Rated R for Violence." This sexy tribute to violent movies promises to be both a bloody good time and an all-out bloodbath. You may wish to dress (or undress) accordingly.
There will be blood. LOTS of it.
This show is 18+
