PORT ANGELES — Can geeks be sexy?
Absolutely, said Kiki “Cat” Littlefish, Port Angeles Caberet co-group manager.
Port Angeles Caberet, a Vaudeville- and burlesque-inspired performance troupe, will perform live tonight — decked out in superhero costumes and other pop culture attire — during Nerdlesque Fandom GeekStrip beginning at 9 p.m. at The Metta Room, 132 E. Front St.
Tickets are $15 in advance at http://tinyurl.com/PDN-Burlesque.
Tickets also will be sold at the door and are $10 for standing-room only or $20 for seats, with a portion of the proceeds earmarked to benefit the class of 2016 and Hope After Heroin.
The performance features Whisper De Corvo — known as Seattle’s Mythic Muse — an award-winning burlesque performer, mother and artist.
Local performers include “Baby Cakes,” “Gothic Lolita,” “Lady Sessy,” “Miss Mimi Lynn,” “Ginger Snap,” “Siouxzie Queen G,” “Kiki Cat,” “Noxious Oxalis” and “SugarBaby” — all dancing to the music of DJ RoBoTiX.
The show is both a celebration of performer Siouxzie Queen G’s birthday — with a night of cosplay, comedy, cabaret and burlesque — and a fundraiser for the Port Angeles High School senior class of 2016 and Hope After Heroin, Littlefish said.
For 21-and-older crowd
The 21-and-older event will include “some of the nerdiest fan-based performances ever witnessed on the Olympic Peninsula,” Littlefish said.
“Get ready for some serious cosplay on everything from comics to cartoons and beyond. This is going to be a side-splitting, hilarious birthday bash you don’t want to miss out on.”
“If you love it, flaunt it in all of your fabulous geek glory,” Littlefish said.
“We encourage you to let your geek flags fly high with us, [so] dress to impress in your nerdiest get-ups.
“It’s time to brush off those elf ears or shake out that superhero costume in your closet and join your favorite local ladies for a magical night of Nerdlesque Fandom GeekStrip.”
While the performers enjoy interacting with audience members, the stage itself is off limits to the public, Littlefish said.
“This is a cabaret performance — there is some burlesque — and with us girls there, we don’t want to have the audience interacting on stage with us because we are scantily clad,” she said.
Charity-driven
PA Cabaret was formed exclusively for charitable purposes and is “dedicated to supporting nonprofit organizations whose missions are worthy of support,” Littlefish said.
“We have raised over $3,500 to donate to local charities within our community, and we dance to benefit local causes that need extra financial support in order to bring our community closer together.”
