slipper room

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.

Not only are venues and shows coming back in the realm of live comedy, but new things are springing up from the ruins of the pandemic that we are very much excited to see.

The exquisite Slipper Room, which hosted so many beloved comedy and variety shows, not only survived, but is back at a robust schedule several nights out of the week. In fact, they’re about to have a brand new show, that ought to be high class affair with the appropriate name, Poppycock.

Hosted by Matt Richards, it’ll be an intimate night of stand-up that will feature NYC comedy’s best (and handpicked by those in the know and not just the “very best” in a general hackneyed sense). The line-up for this coming Tues. 6/29 with doors at 8PM ET will have Rosebud Baker, Dulce Sloan, Jared Freid, and, just added, The Lucas Brothers. Also, this will be a Yondr event and you’ll have to leave your phone in a protected bag, so you don’t have to be distracted from any sort of notifications throughout the show.

Tickets for Poppycock start at $20 (with a $20 minimum at the bar) and you can (and very much should) go get them here.
