The Flaming Dames, Chicago's first rock & roll burlesque troupe, has been 'titillating' Chicago audiences for five years. They revel in the art of teasing til you can't take it anymore, and rockin' you with rock & roll.  A few of the Dames on tap are Hot Cinder, Aqua Nettie, and Sista Stiletto.
 
Born at the renowned The Second City, GayCo Productions will perform social and political sketch comedy poking fun at sex. GayCo advances the gay agenda through hilarious, intelligent sketch comedy where gay is the given, not the punch line.
