All-Star Premiere of The Vroom! Room
The Vroom! Room is a stylishly sexy burlesque noir show that promises to add some mystery back to the art of the strip tease. Hosted by the enigmatic Joey Nova and his pouty accomplice Veronica Vroom! and ensconced in the velvety haze of The Slipper Room, The Vroom! Room offers a keyhole perspective into the world of glittering spectacle with voyeuristic delight. It's also a great opportunity to catch some of burlesque's familiar faces in a whole new way. The Vroom! Room makes no apologies for being seriously sexy. You are officially invited to take part in the voyeuristic vision of Veronica Vroom!
The premiere of The Vroom! Room will feature an all-star lineup of burlesque superstars including Veronica Vroom!, GiGi La Femme, Aprella, Ruby Valentine, Runaround Sue, Sapphire Jones, Madame Rosebud, Ferro, Connie Baker, and Kristen Lee!
The Vroom! Room is on the first Monday of every month at 10pm at The Slipper Room (167 Orchard St at Stanton). Tickets ($5) are available for purchase at the door. Doors open at 10pm.
Veronica Vroom! hails from Kansas City, the home of crazy little women! After bumping and grinding her way to New York, the most obvious thing left for her to do was become a burlesque performer. Veronica can be seen vivaciously vixening and vamping at various vaudevillian venues throughout the city.

Joey Nova is a NYC-based theatre Producer and Set Designer whose most recent work can be seen on the set of the revival of The Wiz at City Center. After dark, he is also a nightlife promoter and DJ, whose fame stems largely from pioneering the return of glam rock to New York City, most notably with his weekly glam rock party, RebelRebel. He's hosted such famous parties as Glamdammit, Bowie Ball, and Rated X: The Panty Party. In the burlesque scene, he has worked with shows such as Wasabassco Burlesque's The NEW Monday Night Burlesque at Public Assembly and Nik Sin's Metal Monday at The Slipper Room.
Veronica and Joey most recently worked together on the glittery retro-futuristic gang-deb play, Go-Go KIllers! at the Sage Theater in Times Square.

Sweet and Nasty roasts The Burlesque Mayor of NYC
"Jonny Porkpie has been a personal thorn in my side for years now," claims host and producer Nasty Canasta. "It's about time someone knocked him down a few pegs - and you wouldn't believe how long the list of volunteers was to do just that." PORK ROAST will do the traditional comedy roast one better, by adding performances by some of New York's biggest stars of burlesque and variety in a tassel-twirling, boob-baring tribute to Porkpie and his unique style of 'man-lesque'. As Monday Night Burlesque producer Doc Wasabassco adds, "It's especially hard for male performers to make it in burlesque: they need a certain extra something, and Jonny ... well, he just hasn't got it. He does have nice hair, though."
Since 2006, Sweet and Nasty has been adding its own unique mix of glam camp, historical fact, and blatant lies to the New York burlesque scene. Sweet and Nasty currently appears on the last Monday of every month at Public Assembly, as part of The New Monday Night Burlesque. Their March extravaganza, PORK ROAST, is the centerpiece of a jam-packed evening of burlesque entertainment: preceded by The Kickoff at 9pm, and followed by the Monday Night Blue go-go dance party at Midnight. Plus two happy hours: preshow 8-9pm, and post-show midnight until closing.
Little Brooklyn, Albert Cadabra, Clams Casino, Anita Cookie, GiGi La Femme, Neil O'Fortune, Ruby Valentine and Doc Wasabassco are warming up the oven and sharpening the knives, and roastmaster Nasty Canasta is setting the table for PORK ROAST, a burlesque birthday roast of Jonny Porkpie at Public Assembly for one night only, Monday, March 30 at 10pm.
SWEET AND NASTY BURLESQUE and THE NEW MONDAY NIGHT BURLESQUE present
PORK ROAST
Monday, March 30 @ 10pm
at Public Assembly, 70 N. 6th St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
