The ghouls of Bawdy Shop Burlesque return to The Ottobar for a night of tantalizing, titillating and terrifying burlesque all tied with strips of bloody silk to the gorgeous gore and salacious sexiness that is American Horror Story. No matter your favorite season—Murder House, Asylum, Coven, Freak Show or Hotel—Bawdy Shop Burlesque will deliver your most demented dreams and naughty nightmares.

Featuring the Baltimore debut of DC’s premiere Black burlesque troupe, Chocolate City Burlesque & Cabaret! CCBC's mission is to preserve and diffuse the art and history of Black Burlesque, Cabaret, Sideshow and Variety as well as create safe and accessible spaces for Black performers and audiences.

Costume contest with prizes for the funniest, scariest and most-awkward-boner-causing costumes! Raffles! Sing-alongs!
