So, run, don't walk to see the standing room only, thrill ride that has had audiences screaming with delight. . .IF YOU DARE!
Note: The producers of Bump 'n' Grindhouse believe some of the images contained in this show to be so shocking that a nurse will be on hand to tend to any patrons who faint from sheer terror or mental over-stimulation.

Rated G for G-Strings.

The Producers
Weirdee Girl combines retro Hollywood glamour with a side dish of geekery. Her foray into publicly shedding her clothing began a few years back at The School of Burlesque where she learned to shimmy, shake and peel it all off. Her style onstage is elegant, sexy and downright goofy. Watch Weirdee as she becomes a sparkling 40's burlesque darling, dons a moustache to portray Ed Wood or slides out of a catsuit for the purrfect Catwoman.

The Ivy League-educated, Lady Aye keeps herself busy on stage as a fire eater, sword swallower, and emcee; and off stage as a noted burlesque producer and writer. Named by the Village Voice 2006 Best of New York issue an "up and coming burlesque babe", she has also appeared on "Gossip Girl", performs with The Pyrate Sisters All-Girl Sideshow and Lady Circus, and holds the unique distinction of being the world's only Jewish female sword swallower.
