My mind is still coming to terms with the reality that this city is capable of an Adult Swim-themed burlesque show where Schoolly D will be in attendance. For those unaware, Schoolly performed the music and sometimes narrated for the beloved Aqua Teen Hunger Force animated series. That makes this latest edition of TBA CON utter perfection.

Just over a year old, TBA CON combines television themes and mini-art conventions in an evening burlesque show extravaganza. Former shows included the inaugural Arrested Development and Archer. This Saturday’s show stars great acts such as Fem Appeal, [the amazing] Brettzo, Scarlett Storm and the ladies of Broad St. Burlesque: Liberty Rose, Hayley Jane and Büm Büm Kapau. Hattie Harlowe (also from Broad St. Burlesque) will be making a guest appearance along with Tasker Morris. (Yes, that’s his actual not-actual name and it is fantastic.)

The evening will be hosted by Cubby Altobelli as Space Ghost Coast to Coast and conclude with an epic, not-to-be-missed ATHF trio finale with a live performance from Schoolly himself.

That’s not even all of it. Show up in costume for costume contest at intermission and discounted entry.
