Red Light Cabaret
11:40PM on June 27, 2009
I usually take martial arts classes on Thursday. It's the main reason behind my washboard abs. Anyway, this week I blew off the class to go to the Cabaret Redlight's series of shows dedicated to the Seven Sins. This particular show was dedicated to Lust. If this wasn't Rude Blog Bait, I don't know what is. There are some out there who would consider me going to a show like that sacrilige but even though I do consider myself a Christian, I find that people take religion way too seriously. I personally feel that you sometimes have to have a sense of humor with your religion or else you go nuts. But that's enough of a digression.
The show music and burlesque and a few comical sketches here and there. They also encouraged lots of audience participation. But the highlights for me were Nicki Jaine's "The other girl" and Jay Davidson's humorous song "Man With the Silver Tongue." In the performance of the song the Devil claims that the best pick up line he had lost a bit in translation. It wasn't "Do you come here often?" It was, "You don't cum often enough." He then commented that with the invention of vibrators that line doesn't work anymore. The Devil claims that he invented the vibrator and the batteries. This led me to say to the person next to me, "Oh... So that explains why they are always dying."
Nicki Jaine has lovely set of lungs, can play guitar, can play a mean musical saw, and I have to say her voice was one of biggest reasons for my enjoyment of the show. Annie A-Bomb, one of the burlesque dancers was the another reason. There was something about her smile that got to me. As for funny moments there was Adam(played by the devil who was played by Jay Davidson) and Eve in the garden. And the back and forth where Eve professed a love of dendrophilia preferring the tree because Adam only had a sapling was hilarious.
It was an enjoyable show and I probably would've enjoyed it more had I brought someone with me so I could make comments with them on the show. I think I kinda lucked out in that when I first came in, there was a lady who I struck up a conversation with before the show who was cool as hell. She and her significant other let me bounce my smart ass comments off of them.
