Holy parody burlesque Batman!

HOLY BOUNCING BOOBIES! A BATMAN BURLESQUE is so popular with Northshore patrons that it will continue to perform Saturdays at 9pm through October 27th (note: exception 10/13 show at 11PM) at Gorilla Tango's Skokie Theatre (7924 Lincoln Ave. Skokie, IL 60077). 18 and over only; tickets are $20 and available for purchase online at www.gorillatango.com or by calling 773-598-4549.

In this campy, sexy and silly parody, Batman and Robin are put to the ultimate test of intellect when they learn that Batgirl has been captured by the reprehensible Riddler! Now the Dynamic Duo must travel through the streets of Gotham to retrieve the Riddler's clues from all of Batman's enemies before midnight. Join the Caped Crusaders on this quest, featuring sultry burlesque numbers and a full roster of vile villains (including Catwoman, Two-Face, The Penguin, and even Egghead!)


"The whole cast show sexy confidence and solid comedic timing, creating a Gotham City that's a lot more fun than Christopher Nolan's."- Chicago Reader

"There's no better use of your time, money, and airline miles than getting out to see this thing at least once. A rich, pop-geek-friendly comedy show."-Kickingtheseat.com

"This isn't Shakespeare, and it isn't a strip club. But it is a barrel of sexy fun! I laughed. I laughed some more. I drank beer. I laughed even more. And I saw lots of boobies. As good as Christopher Nolan's latest Batman installment is, this show made a far more memorable evening. Enthusiastic thumbs up!"
-Ray's Chicago Area Burlesque 

"A genuine good night out and a hilarious storyline to follow; complete with colorful costumes, awesome props like a handmade Batmobile, human penguins and killer sexy dance moves. It was ridiculous in the best way possible."
-Skokie Patch

MORE ABOUT GORILLA TANGO BURLESQUE
Over the past year and a half, Gorilla Tango Burlesque has gone from the debut of the surprise hit Boobs & Goombas: A Super Mario Burlesque to a local burlesque/comedy powerhouse with literally thousands of audience members through the door to see unique burlesque parodies of everything from Star Wars (A Nude Hope: A Star Wars Burlesque) to Indiana Jones (Temple of Boobs: An Indiana Jones Burlesque) to fantasy films and RPGs (Fellowship of the Boobs: an LOTR, WoW, D&D, RPG Burlesque) -- and that's just a small selection of what they have available for-- as their slogan states-- "the Discerning Nerd." Look for GTB's Halloween themed burlesque show, 'Boobs of the Dead: A Walking Dead Burlesque' playing ONLY in October on Fridays at 9PM and Saturdays at 11:59PM (Special 10/31 9PM show.)
