A Nightmare on Strip Street: A Burlesque Parody

This wickedly funny stage show slashes through classic horror movies with a provocative burlesque twist. Freddy, Jason, Chucky and Ghostface are torn apart comically and literally in a no holds barred night of parody, spectacle and seduction. It's bold, bloody and out for laughs… and maybe a few screams.

A slasher-style burlesque like no other
This outrageous stage show hacks into horror clichés and restitches them into something gloriously unhinged. Equal parts parody and performance, it's a blood-red blend of thrills, laughs, and late-night tease.
A slasher-style burlesque like no other
Your favorite horror icons, hilariously undone
No monster, masked killer, or final girl is safe in this wickedly funny takedown of the genre. With over-the-top characters, razor-sharp wit, and a whole lot of camp, nothing is sacred—and everything is up for ridicule.
Your favorite horror icons, hilariously undone
Burlesque meets the bizarre
From jaw-dropping aerials to blood-soaked contortion, the night unfolds with circus, sideshow, and seductive spectacle. It's loud, lewd, and leaves you howling—for all the right reasons.
