$10,000

Being known as something other than your given name can either be a really good thing or a really bad thing. George Costanza obviously represents the worst-case scenario for receiving an alias, having been known as “Can’t-Stand-Ya,” “Koko the Monkey” and “Gammy.” On the flip side, though, there are people like burlesque star Michelle L’Amour, who is also known as “The Ass that goes POW!” Now, there’s a tagline that’s hard to beat. See L’Amour and several other big-time burlesque performers in the 2011 Spring Swing Burlesque Revue at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at The Kessler Theater, 1230 W. Davis St. Tickets are $23 to $35 and can be purchased at prekindle.com. For more information, visit ladivinaburlesque.com.
