DrB Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Kinda like this? With all the comedy skits, bad comedians, slapstick and such. There was still one place called the Roxy going in the early 70's where I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSIV4S Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 These real life shows like auction hunters seem to end up at one every now and then to get something evaluated. Based on everything I saw, I would pay them money to add more clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 My wife and I have. There is a revival of these shows. It was fun and nothing like a sleazy strip club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yes...there was a Road Show up here a few years ago. Sold out every night and got good reviews. I missed it but if ever comes back I'm going.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have an ex that danced in a Burlesque/Vaudeville show in Houston about 15 years ago. There was no nudity. The whole thing was pretty much PG-13. Sold out every night for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Rabbi Posted July 8, 2018 Administrators Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have in New Orleans and Vegas. It is my belief that a lot of the women were men. It was not billed that way, it was billed as a real old time burlesque show.....but again, pretty sure several were dudes. It was valuable in the sense that I can say "Yes, I have been to a burlesque show." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 New Orleans has the annual one each year, I believe. If I am ever in the area when it is happening might stop in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haldor Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I went to a strip club in the Tenderloin district in San Francisco back in the 70's once. Most memorable act was the belly dancer. She didn't get naked like the other girls, but man what muscle control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yes. There existed the Grand Burlesque in downtown St. Louis, featuring Evelyn West and her Treasure Chest. Some lads and I may have attended a show or two. NB it really didn't come close to what the adolescent mind imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerford Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Yes, maybe 25 years ago in Lake Tahoe. Unfortunately it was headlined by Tempest Storm. Who was an old time burlesque headliner. She was about 65. She was not bad for a 65 year old, she wore a sheer body suit with lots of sequins. It would have been a much better show with a 25 year old star. However, the other women in the show were young and fit. I give her credit for giving it the old college try, much like the 70 year old rockers still touring today. It is just not the same.
