In case you didn’t already know, Halloween is burlesque Christmas! Where us weirdos can stock up on the essential items to live off of for the rest of the year. So its no surprise that Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society shared the stage with familiar faces and some very special guests at the WISE Hall, Friday Oct 28, for the Taboo Revue Spooktacular!!!
To show off our fantastic showcase of acts we naturally needed THREE exceptionally entertaining individuals to host our packed house! The quick wits of Steve Stevedore, Evil Bastard and Violet Femme made our audience feel at home.

I’m going to be very upfront by admitting now that arranging these pictures were no easy task. The numbers in this show ranged from so many different styles that my OCD was getting the best of me. The results you see below is the Taboo Revue show divided by the Halloweeny/spooky/weirdo numbers and the very sexy... very sexy numbers (**Note to me, read a Thesaurus!)
The night starts in a graveyard where Aida Manic bravely wanders to encounter all sorts of creatures of the night who appears to put newcomers through a very intensive hazing session!

I’m really digging this women in command of man/beast theme happening here:

The bodacious Star Buxom takes it off to raise the dead. Her voodoo dance and dark magic left Frankie Panky helpless to her commands! She definitely wears the pants between the two of them in this one and she’s not even wearing pants!

RELEASE THE KRAKEN! April O’Peel’s love of squid and octopi (octopusses sounds better but apparently its not a real word!) is really shared with the world in this number. When asking her why she likes these sea creatures she articulately responds with, “No one would fuck with a squid” So true, so very very true!

Calamity Kate is a BABE!!! She’s so hot sparks come out of her boobs and her neather-regions. Try and touch her! Try! Just be careful cuz you might get burned! (Ohhhh awesome cliche!) All jokes aside, I wouldn’t mess with her for the sole fact she willingly takes a grinder to her body like that and can make it look erotic!

While the Voodoo Mama is away the corpse will play or something along those lines. Franky Panky proves that he still got it in the after life. Providing its ok with Star Buxom of course!

Violet Femme was unfortunately attacked by what we all thought was a hobo during the show but something tells me that this was something much more serious. It's a good thing she can adapt to any role, alive or dead!

The always classy and glittery Sparkle Pussies showed the crowd how being dirty is always more fun ;)

Up and coming boylesque superstar and guitar hero Blue Morris represented for the fellows. He prove that playing the guitar is so easy you can even strip and look sexy while doing it! The multiple climaxes in his dynamic number were very much appreciated and panty-throwing-on-the-stage worth!

Vancouver’s ambassador of spandex Spandy attempts to fill the King of Pop’s shoes when he headlines our take on an all time classic, “Thriller”.

This high action number required much more than a photo montage to summarize what the audience witnessed that night.

If you don’t know who Spandy Andy just take a moment and check out his awesome website. He's all about spreading positivity, he really is a ray of sunshine on our rainy city! We love you Spandy!
That’s it that’s all. That was our show ladies and gentlemen! Thank you to everyone who came out and choose to have Screaming Chicken to be part of your Halloween weekend. Thank you to all the volunteers who make it possible for us to staff our show! Thank you talented photographers who capture our shows on camera so that I can make this blog post possible so I may never have to worry about expanding my vocabulary on adjectives!
