Whack-a-Bahls: A Burlesque Improv Show

Whack-a-Bahls is a zany improv burlesque show bringing Chicago stupidly fun antics presented by Dusty Bahls and Shimmy La Roux! Featuring a different cast of award-winning burlesque and drag entertainers every revue, the performers do not know what they will be performing to nor do they know what shenanigans Dusty and Shimmy have in store for them while they're on stage, live, in front of an audience. Fisting containers full of Cool Whip, shoes flying and whisking wigs off of heads from across the room, oodles of babies being presented while "All That She Wants is Another Baby" is played are just a few of the ridiculous capers known to have happened at previous showings. No two shows are alike and the magic in each show can never be replicated!

Special notes:

Ticket prices increase $5 at the door.

This is a burlesque improv show. It is both silly and sexual in nature. No one knows what the performers will come up with on the spot. Things could get a little crazy so be sure to approach with an open mind.

Newport is up a flight of stairs (no elevator) but we can arrange a less-trafficked entrance with a railing. Two single-stall all-gender restrooms onsite. Learn more at newporttheater.com/safety
