On the second Tuesday of each month, the ladies and gentlemen of Geek Girl Burlesque take over the Bowery Poetry Club in NYC for a night of naughty ‘n’ nerdy fun. April’s Geek Girl performance was dubbed “Pasties and Popcorn,” and paid tribute to some of the troupe’s favorite movies. The evening, which did indeed feature both pasties and bags bursting with popcorn, included performances inspired by classics such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Sweeney Todd, Nightmare on Elm Street, Hocus Pocus and Saw.
The show was compered by Whit Leyenberger and Jilli Puff, who were in character as the under-age couple at the heart of Diablo Cody’s Academy Award-winning tale of teenage pregnancy, Juno. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening came at the end, when, after a quick costume change Jilli Puff returned to the stage as Penny Johnson from Dirty Dancing and revealed her bump was no stage prop while doing a turn appropriately enough to the tune of “Be My Baby.” Another highlight was watching Little Miss Rollerhoops, as Wednesday Addams, having a little too much fun with the disembodied hand from The Addams Family. Who knew The Thing could be so, errr, handy?
The next Geek Girl performance is on May 8th and will be steampunk themed in anticipation of the Steampunk World’s Faire, held May 18-20 at the Radisson in Piscataway, New Jersey, where the ensemble will also be making an appearance.
