Brain Bleach – It’s A Slow News Day, So Here’s An Avengers Themed Burlesque Show (NSFW)

Captain America didn’t see *this* coming.

Ok, it’s Labor Day here in the States, which makes it a pretty slow news day. If you’re looking for the remotest chance of anything highbrow, perhaps you’d like to read some stories about how Jim Carrey has signed on to the Kick-Ass 2 movie (that’s it Jim; embrace the cartoon character that you are); how Mark Millar and others are working to rid the Internetz of an online bully; or how robots ruined the live streaming from the Hugo Awards. But, if you’re more like me and spent the day nursing a hangover because you spent the night before finally watching the G4 coverage of Comic-Con, pausing to take a shot of Jack Daniels every time Candace Bailey or Sara Underwood said something stupid (which was…every time they said something…whatever G4 paid John Barrowman to help out this year, it wasn’t enough), then you’re looking for something low brow and distracting. Fortunately, Bleeding Cool has you covered. Behold, The Avengers Burlesque:

Hotsy-Totsy have a history of producing eccentric geek-centric burlesque tributes, most recently creating a Game of Thrones and Mad Men show, as well as an upcoming Doctor Who Parody…To further stake their clam in the land of nerd, overheard backstage were some of the burlesque dancers discussing the merits of seaQuest DSV versus seaQuest 2032.

Check out a trailer for the show, after the jump.

The Avengers themed show was on August 21st. For those interested in checking out the Doctor Who themed show, it will be live at the R-Bar in New York City at 218 Bowery (between Prince and Spring). The show starts at 8pm on September 18, 2012. Tickets will be $10.
