Saturday’s Pretty Things Peep Show at the Kessler Theater (1230 W. Davis St.) is a bump-and-grind touring sensation celebrating the best vaudeville talents in the biz. Go-go Amy and her crew of vixens twirl their tassels for sure, but there’s more to this production than just sequins and feathers. Mr. Donny V — also known as the Dapper Dan of Danger — presents a sideshow spectacle that includes knife throwing, chain saw juggling, fire eating and more. Add in the show’s house band, The Peeping Toms, and you’ve got quite a sight — bowler hats and saxophones backing up Chinese execution blades, pyrotechnics and, of course, all the naughtiness you’d expect from a burlesque show. The show kicks off at 8 p.m.; tickets are $15 to $22.50 and may be bought at the door or online at prekindle.com.
