Syrens of the South is known for putting on amazing shows and bringing in the best performers from all over the country - now they’re taking the next step and producing the First Annual Southern Fried Burlesque Fest! The festival offers a full weekend of shows, classes, and special events. For example, Syrens will be kicking off the festival with the Atlanta Premiere of the award-winning documentary "Dirty Martini and the New Burlesque", including a Q&A after the screening with Dirty Martini and Director Gary Beeber.

Friday Night brings you The Free Range Burlesque International Showcase, featuring performances by Miss Exotic World 2004 and No. 1 in the "Burlesque Top 50" for 2009 and 2010, Dirty Martini; The Headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque, Jo Boobs; Burlesque Legends Tiffany Carter and Gyna Rose Jewel, as well as other amazing performers from all over the world!

Saturday Night is the main event: The Southern Fried Burlesque Pageant has performers competing for Best Duet, Best Variety, and the first ever Southern Fried Burlesque Queen! After the awards ceremony, you can let your hair down at the Dirty South Showcase with performers from all over the Southeast, headlined by The “Godfather” of Atlanta Burlesque, Torchy Taboo!

Sunday will be the Legends of Burlesque Panel as well as a very special Dr. Sketchy's Atlanta.

There will be classes on Friday and Saturday for all skill levels. Whether you want to learn from the beginning or fine tune your craft, this festival will have activities for all levels and aspects of burlesque, including How to Make Headdresses, How to Be a Pin-up Model, Make-up and Hair tutorials, Burlesque Business and Marketing classes, MC/Hosting instruction, and Dance classes from seasoned burlesque performers, teachers, and legends, so you can leave the festival with all the tools you need to be the next Burlesque Superstar! Don’t worry guys -all genders are welcome to attend classes!

Burlesque is the art of the striptease, with a focus on the tease. The performers occasionally strip to pasties, but there is no nudity in any of our productions. This show is a revival of an American art form that has become an international movement.

“See New York’s Best Burlesque for One Night Only!”
Who: Syrens of the South Productions
What: Dangerous Curves: Burlesque On The Go-Go! Fall Tour
When: October 31, 2010, 8pm
Tickets: $15 in advance, $20 at the door
Where: Eyedrum
290 Martin Luther King, Jr, Dr, SE
Atlanta, GA 30312

Syrens of the South is pairing up with New York City's best known, most popular and award-winning burlesque stars, Anita Cookie, Clams Casino, Darlinda Just Darlinda, GiGi La Femme and Minnie Tonka! These ladis are hitting the road and bringing their signature acts to stages throughout the country for a three-week tour that takes them from the Midwest through the South and up the Eastern Seaboard including Atlanta, GA, on Halloween!

The Dangerous Curves Ahead: Burlesque On the Go-Go Fall Tour will be the follow-up to their incredibly successful 2010 coast-to-coast, 23-city Spring Tour including Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison, Denver, Las Vegas, Dallas, Kansas City, Albuquerque, and Richmond. Dangerous Curves Ahead packed houses across the country and received oodles of critical acclaim: The Nashville Scene said "It’s a veritable aureole speedwagon as the Outer Boroughs’ most buxom babes go from zero to 38D on their road trip across America!" and the Phoenix New Times called the show, "An excellent night of twirling tassels and bawdy jokes."

Dangerous Curves Ahead showcases a group of the hottest and most innovative performers in the international burlesque scene. These burlesque starlets have rocked and shocked stages from London to Vancouver to Key West and are multiple award-winners at the annual Burlesque Hall of Fame Pageant in Las Vegas. Along with selling out venues across the US, they have produced standing-room only shows in New York City on stages ranging from Off-Broadway theaters to the trendiest clubs.
Catch us while you can!
