Start your Valentine’s Day right and come lose your head at DIVA or Die: Guillotine Romance. At our show, romance will trip, stumble, and careen into a dark alley where it loses its head (and its heart) in a glittery arterial spray. Join us on Friday, February 13th for a burlesque mashup of love, lust, horror, and just the right amount of screaming.
At DIVA or Die, we don’t take romance lightly. Inspired by slasher films, doomed love stories, and the French Revolution, Guillotine Romance revels in the cacophony of the wounded heart and decides to make it everyone’s problem. This is horror with a wink, glamour with a body count, and love that refuses to die (but may K*ll). This is romance in its most twisted, messy, feral, and (fake) blood-spattered form. Killer heels, heartbreaks, and lights catching the light of the blade just right…. It’s enough dark trauma to make Cupid miss a shot. And it’s all here at DIVA or Die!
This night is for goths, scream queens, leather lovers, and anyone who knows Friday the 13th is better with romance and Valentine’s Day is better with bite. Sharp wits and dull knives make this an event to share with your friends, your foes, your current love, and your hated ex. Confused and unresolved feelings are always welcome.
Romance is not dead, but love may be fatal. Come lose your head at Guillotine Romance!
You will remember the show as long as you both shall live…. (Maniacal laughter ensues).

Rosie Fingers is a union-made maker of misery and mayhem for the agents of capital. Co-founder of Bay Area wrestling show Full Queer: Wrestling for Rights. Rosie is new to the burlesque stage, but not new to MCing. Be nice to her. Or don't. She's into that. Or at least she knows when to hit back and when to ask for more.
