Dig deep into that spot that makes you laugh a little when you think about naked time — that’s just the part of you to take to Viva Dallas Burlesque’s show at Lakewood Theater, 1825 Abrams Parkway. This time the lovely ladies of tassels and titillation are bringing not only the luscious grooves but the classic laughs as well, by way of Dirty Sexy Funny! Special guest Lula Houp-Garou brings her scintillating spinning skills all the way from the Windy City to join Vivienne Vermuth, Divertida Devotchka, Pixie O’Kneel, Courtney Crave, Austin’s Erin Go Braughless and others for a night of classic dance performances, vaudeville-style talents and, yes, broad comedy. (Rimshot!) Doors open at 8 and the show starts at 9 p.m. Friday. That gives you just enough time for cocktail or two from the Lakewood’s talented bar staff before emcee Patti Le Plae Safe takes the stage. Tickets are $20 at vivadallasburlesque.com.
Fri., June 1, 9 p.m., 2012
