It is all the things everyone has come to love of The Pink Room Burlesque: Schäffer the Darklord rapping his original song "A David Lynch Movie", an audience participation challenge, Chug-a-lug Donna, and burlesque performances by many of the characters from

Twin Peaks - both the original and The Return on Showtime! This is a special Saturday night show to celebrate the January birthdays of both David Lynch & TPR producer, Francine. You never know who may show up onstage or in the audience. Costumes always encouraged!
