One of the most unquestionably funny shows in all of television, What We Do in the Shadows, returns for its fifth season on FX/Hulu starting this Thurs/Fri. It also probably one of the more raunchy comedies on TV, even more so than the sequel series to Sex and the City, making it unequivocally one of the few series actually worthy of appointment viewing.

To honor these notions, venerable NYC burlesque troupe Hotsy Totsy are doing a What We Do in the Shadows burleseque tribute at The Slipper Room this Thurs. Jul. 13th at 8PM. This actually lines up perfectly if you’re going to, like most folks, watch WWDITS on Hulu the very next day since the linear TV premiere is on the very same night on FX (then put on Hulu the following day).

Tickets for such a lovely and dark and silly and sexy evening are sold out, but there will be limited tickets at the door, so maybe show up plenty early (or try turning into a bat to sneak in).

As Weird Al Yankovic made a legacy from parodying pop songs, it kind of stands to reason that a tribute to him might come in the form of a burlesque show. There are actually more and more burlesque and drag shows that intersect the world of comedy or pop culture (a Mel Brooks burlesque show and lots of the drag happening at Club Cumming come to mind) making for a more untraditional, but damn fun evening.

Hotsy Totsy in NYC specializes in this and are taking their night at The Slipper Room to do a burlesque tribute to the King of Parody, Weird Al. Venatrix, Perse Fanny, Rosie Tulips, Violet Luna, Bitsy Brulée, LeGrand Chaton, Miranda Raven, Handsome Brad, and Cherry Pitz are all set to do a night dedicated to Weird Al unlike you’ve ever seen before (especially if you’ve not seen seductive dancing with mustaches and wordplay)

With that in mind, you really ought to get tickets here for $25 a pop. Hotsy Totsy’s Tribute to Weird Al Yankovic is set for this Thurs. Jan. 12th w/doors at 7PM.
