Blassphemy! A Metal GoGo-Burlesque Show: Metal Covers Edition
21+
TICKETS: http://blassphemy.multipass.com/november2025
Alabastard Productions proudly presents Blassphemy, where sin, heavy music, and unholy debauchery collide! This isn’t your typical burlesque show—it's a metal-fueled, butt-shaking, boundary-breaking celebration that pushes our performers to unleash their inner sinner (or just inner headbanger). With extended stage time averaging 12-15 minutes per performance, each artist has the time to dig deep and really bring some nonsense to the stage, and into the crowd.
What makes most genres better? When you make it metal. (JK, other genres are fine but I gotta MARKET HERE, PEOPLE) All covers, all bangers. Let's go.
Expect beats from across the heavy music spectrum, mesmerizing Go-Go, and jaw-dropping stamina as these performers push the limits of what can be done onstage. Get ready for a night of raw energy, rebellious spirit, and unrestrained passion that’ll have you screaming for more!
CAST:
TBA
Doors 9:00pm-ish
Show at 9:30pm
TIPPING IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO MAXIMIZE BOOTY SHAKING POTENTIAL. We will have singles available to swap for you to tithe- I mean... tip.

Never been to burlesque before? That's fine! Just a few things to keep in mind!
1. Have fun!
2. Take care of each other! That means no touching anyone without permission (including performers) and they will do the same for you! If you don't want a performer to interact with you, just give us a lil "nope" and we will move right along!
3. Let us know what you like! Tip! Hoot and Holler!
4. Don't be a genre snob! Endless breakdowns are hard to dance to.
4. Have fun again. Seriously. It's pretty hard not to have a good time at these!
