Pasties, booze, and pretty girls (and bois) thumbing their noses at propriety? Sounds like a party to us. For more than three years, the Hubba Hubba Revue has been upstaging more coquettish burlesque acts with a tasty goulash of live bands, classic striptease, vaudeville high-jinks, and Weimar era–esque cabaret acts in its ongoing monthly shows at the DNA Lounge. The founders, Creepshow Peepshow entertainer Kingfish and neo-burlesque headliner Eddie Dane, ply their audiences with a healthy dose of vulgar humor and attention to detail (coordinated go-go dancers? Be still, our hearts!), with just a tad of peek-a-boo charm. Audiences are encouraged to get dressed up and join the spectacle-makers. There's also a theme to ring in each month, from the topical (atom bombs) to the irreverent (Catholic schoolgirl cheerleaders). It's great raucous fun worthy of the Barbary Coast.
