Hosted by Lilith DeVille, Smokin’ Betties’ October show will feature a mixture of classic burlesque and nerdlesque twisted with Halloween themes. The Betties are excited to return to the club where they started 10 years ago and welcome special guests Confetti Gunn, Jami Starling, and Lizzy Just Lizzy.
As the longest-running burlesque troupe in Pittsburgh, the Smokin’ Betties started in 2015 as graduates of the Steel City Burlesque Academy, under the tutelage of Macabre Noir. In 2016, they opened the Burlypicks National Burlesque Competition when it came to Pittsburgh, and in 2023, they expanded their roster for the first time in their tenure. The Betties consist of Amoxie Villain, DemDare Eyes, Eden Ivy, Josalynn Lark, and Lucy LaBam.
