The show consists of an MC who looks like a washed up burlesque dancer, a 40-something sword swallower, a male juggler and one female performer who performs two burlesque dances. If you have nothing else to do you might consider checking it out at the reduced Goldstar cost. In my opinion a $5 trip to the Slipper Room is more scandaleous and entertaining.Written on Dec 14 2009

The performance was just ok and not worth standing in a long line and paying extra $15 per person for a table charge. The small room was packed. The juggler was funny and yoga guy and a sword lady were good.Written on Nov 16 2009

Great atmosphere and fun acts that include a varied assortment of juggling, contortionist acts, and dance and musical performances that all include a dash of humor tending to fall on the sexual side...but never crude. I think if you take a chance and go in with little expectations, other then just enjoying a nice night out with a small group of friends or a significant other, that you'll be pleasantly surprised. My only complaint is with the price of the food. Be sure to double check your bill and cross reference it with the menu listed price of the items. Our bill included mark-ups of up to $3 dollars extra per item that we ordered from what the menu stated. Other then this complaint, the service was otherwise great and the show itself was a Saturday night well spent.Written on Nov 16 2009
