Presented by Shameless Dames Burlesque

In a Nutshell: Pooped from their recent adventure in the boring quadrant of the no fun zone of outer space, the Shameless Dames go on a cruise aboard the virtually unsinkable Titanic. With a vessel full of seamen, crabs at the all you can eat buffet, and hot lesbian action on the itinerary, it’s no wonder that the Shameless Dames ignore both the definition of “virtually” and the doomsday warnings of Catcher in the Rye reading Sassy Sativa.

You’ll Like This Performance If You Liked: Talent shows at summer camp, complete with costume mishaps, Madonna lip synchs and ukulele versions of Tragically Hip tunes.

Indicative Quote: “The ship can’t go down. Nobody’s seen my boobs yet!” –Debauchery Brie

Highlight: The epic battle between the Titanic and the iceberg. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say it involves a frazzled James Cameron, an iceberg marionette and FEATHERS!!!

What Was the Audience Like: Sexually adventurous and covered with tattoos. Suicidegirls.com should start a recruiting booth here.

Who You Should Bring: Anyone who likes a bit of T & A, so, anyone?

Verdict: Sure some cues were forgotten and a couple of the actors could hardly get through a line without giggling, but isn’t that the beauty of burlesque? It’s pure carnivalesque revelry. There’s just something so frickin amazing about women (with bodies that most definitely don’t resemble Jessica Biel’s) proudly swinging their nipple tassels around to songs from Annie. If you’re looking for the perfect antidote to a tedious week at work, this show of kooky costumes and priceless hilarity should do the trick.

Titantric runs June 13 and June 14 @ 9pm (doors open at 8) at The Comedy Bar, 945b Bloor St. West, $15 with reservation (write shamelessdames@gmail.com) $18 at door.
