The Geekenders Present: Star Wars Holiday Special Burlesque

9:00pm - Saturday, Dec 14, 2019

A long time ago... in a galaxy far, far away... There were The Geekenders!

Ready to bring the nerds of Vancouver some sexiness, "Star Wars Holiday Special Burlesque" is a popular nerdy cabaret that combines the irreverence of the Muppets and the polish and showmanship of a Vegas showgirl revue. Some of Vancouver’s silliest and sassiest burlesque dancers will bring you select performances from their popular Star Wars burlesque shows: A Nude Hope, The Empire Strips Back, Reveal of the Jedi... As well as lots of new performances never seen on the Rio's stage before! It's everything you love about Geekenders' Star Wars, but with a holiday twist!

So grab a friend and join us for the geeky, sexy, body-positive, energetic, reference-filled and super hot night out with the nerd community that you deserve. "Star Wars Holiday Special Burlesque" celebrates the stories and characters you know, love, and secretly google sexy fan art of in you spare time with energetic dancing, comedy, and cheeky satire, created by artists as nerdy as you are.
