Camille Atkinson and Mark Boquist present the debut of their Juke Joint Burlesque Revue at Parkside Lounge. A con-funk-tual extravaganza of old fashioned rockrollnsoul music and newfangled neo-burlesque, it will thrill your soul, and the May event will be the first of many. Let Camille and her coterie lure you down south to their honky tonk on the side of the road on the edge of town in their own little red light district. A raunchy variety show that will take you back and front and any way it can. Put your cash in their hat and remember—don’t touch the girls!
