Another special Halloween thing: near nudity. Rising burlesque stars Bawdy Shop Burlesque—plus New York’s Darlinda Just Darlinda and Baltimore’s own vaudeville duo Hot and Bothered—will show off their minimal costume coverage in a Mystery Machine-inspired adventure. And the Bawdy Shop girls won’t be the only ones wearing creepy things over their nipples: The show will include a costume contest with prizes for funniest costume, scariest costume and “awkward boner costume.”
