Ladies and gents, join us in celebrating ten years of sensational acts by brilliant performers in burlesque, cabaret, drag, circus and variety arts from the bay area and far beyond. That's right, it's been a full decade of decadence now and we'll be starting off the next one with a lavish line-up of long-time favorites mixed with some newer additions to the mischievous merriment of Little Minsky's.

Ladies and gents, join us in celebrating ten years of sensational acts by brilliant performers in burlesque, cabaret, drag, circus and variety arts from the bay area and far beyond. That's right, it's been a full decade of decadence now and we'll be starting off the next one with a lavish line-up of long-time favorites mixed with some newer additions to the mischievous merriment of Little Minsky's.
Our hostess is that beloved, charming and ever-elegant drag opera diva, the Countess Katya Smirnoff-Skyy. And for the first time in years, we're pleased to welcome back original Minsky's co-founder and glamorous burlesque beauty The Flying Fox visiting from New York. And from Los Angeles, let's hear it for the exquisitely multi-talented dancer Kristina Nekyia and the deliciously adorable Angie Cakes. We'll have the shimmy queen Kellita - creator of Hot Pink Feathers, beguiling Honey le Bang, dynamic Dottie Lux - founder of Red Hots Burlesque, devastating Ava Lanche, mesmerizing Stilletta Maraschino, hot-blooded Bunny Pistol - impresario of Barbary Coast Burlesque, and sizzling Balla Fire - co-founder of Sin Sisters Burlesque. There's the fabulously flexible contortionist extraordinaire Sylphie Currin, circus-style shenanigans from the impressive Mee Zee, inspired cabaret concoctions from composer pianist chanteuse Allison Lovejoy, and enchanting jazzy tunes from phenomenal songstress Karina Denike. Musical accompaniment provided by piano genius Michael McIntosh, upright bass virtuoso Daniel Fabricant and piano maestro Joe Wicht.
Many thanks to all of the wonderful performers we've worked with, the fantastic Little Minsky's staff, everyone who's helped out with the shows over the years and of course our lovely audience that's made these nights such a pleasure for all of us. Looking forward to the future shindigs. Cheers.
One note - the cover for this show will be $10 because it's about twice as long as the usual. We'll see you at the bar...
