She was the storm, she was the lightning, she was the adult world with all its power and all its secrets and all its sexy casual ecdysiasm.”

There’s a storm coming.

Old Gran Hempstock, who is older than the moon, said it would come to the area in that way that only someone who has seen it all can talk about such an event. Come down to the end of the lane, at Boren Avenue and Howell Street, where the Hempstocks live and join us for a sassy and clever homage to the stories of Neil Gaiman, encompassing so many worlds and tales featured in comic books, novels, film and television. His imagination has taken us from the ocean at the end of the lane to beyond the wall and across the country with gods. And that’s just at the gate before we hit the road.

Based in Seattle, Worlds' End Burlesque Revue is bringing their latest production, The Tease at the End of The Strip to Vancouver on Sunday, September 1. Featuring performers from both Seattle and Vancouver, this is a must-see for lovers of Gaiman's work and burlesque aficionados alike.
