Atlas Obscura Burlesque History Lecture

ByKelly Williams, Photographer March 17, 2016March 26, 2024

On Sunday, I attended the Atlas Obscura burlesque history lecture and cabaret performance at Acme Studios in Brooklyn. Performing that night were Albert Cadabra, Dirty Martini, Gin Minsky, Corvette Le Face, Ms. Tickle and Melody Jane. Here is a link to a full description of the evening. Kudos to the barteners; the cocktails were mighty tasty. Enjoy the photos, and make sure to put a few things on your calendar. First, the Nerdlesque Festival is coming up on April 1st and the NYC Burlesque Festival opens September 29th. Get your tickets now.
