Sweet and Nasty appears every month at various fabulous locations throughout New York City. For photos and fliers, visit us on MySpace.
The origins of Sweet and Nasty Burlesque are shrouded in mystery, soaked in whiskey, and protected by several binding legal injunctions. The grand experiment culminated in a weekly burlesque cavalcade of fantastic proportions that ran at RiFiFi on East 11th Street from June 2006 until the bar's sudden destruction by hipsters in August, 2008. These days, award-winning producer Nasty Canasta, along with the most blindingly fabulous, brilliantly beautiful and remarkably absurd performers from New York City and beyond bring you a monthly mix of glam camp, historical fact, and blatant lies.

THE JAZZ STRIPPER
Brooklyn is famous for many things: hipsters, a bridge or two, the Dodgers - and of course, Neil Diamond. On May 27th, Sweet and Nasty Burlesque presents THE JAZZ STRIPPER on Coney Island: a night of tassel-twirling tributes to the greatest singer-songwriter ever to come out of Kings County.
"What better way to celebrate Brooklyn than with a show combining two of my deepest and most abiding loves - burlesque and Neil Diamond?" asks host and producer Nasty Canasta. The reigning Cheese Queen of Coney Island and "Brooklyn's greatest burlesque star" (The Brooklyn Paper), Canasta confesses to a lifelong appreciation of the man known as 'The Jewish Elvis'. "After all, we were both born right here in Brooklyn - and we were both naked at the time!"
So turn on your heartlight, thank the Lord for the night time, and travel down those Brooklyn roads with Creamy Stevens, Bastard Keith, Gal Friday, Sapphire Jones and Tigger! Host Nasty Canasta will make you a believer at THE JAZZ STRIPPER, a Diamond-studded night of burlesque on Coney Island for one night only, Thursday, May 27th at 9pm. Beer and red red wine available at the bar.
