Time and time again, I’ve shared my love for the amazing talent that is Keith Paul and all that he does with his creation, The Desultory Theatre Club.
Walk in and The Dress-Ups and Three Kinds of Wildness dance off with Robots while performers entice mermaids to join them under the black lights; and all this not far from my front door. You just never know what you’re going to get–but this guy? He knows what he’s doing.

The Desultory Theatre Club’s next great evening of entertainment is set for Saturday, June 27th, at Hardcore Sweet Cupcakes in Oakville–winners of Food Network’s Cupcake Wars (and the very reason why I will never, ever be a size 10 again). While you spend the night sampling the most inventive flavors of cupcakes around, Adam Parisi will mystify you with his special brand of magic. Burlesque dancers Mistress Leona Starr, Harley Foxx, Vivienne LaFlamme, and FruitontheBottom will be sure you are properly stirred up! And let’s not forget Mat Stokes and Ethan Scott! There will be a special appearance by Dames for Soldiers to cap off an evening you surely do not want to miss!
Tickets are $10 at the door. The doors open at 7:30 PM; show starts at 8PM SHARP. Bring extra money for cupcakes!! (And BYOB, if you’re of age–just make sure you have your ID with you, too.)
Sadly, I will miss it, as I embark upon my first travel writing adventure for The Daily Meal.
…so I’m sending 2 of you in my place!!

Good luck! And report back to me on how fabulous the show is–I’m really sad I’ll be missing it!
I have most definitely been to MANY DTC shows….and for me, the best part, is watching the audience’s reaction to what’s going on. It’s never the same thing twice which makes its even more entertaining.
I love bringing people to shows for that very reason–their reactions are priceless! And at DTC shows, you know whatever you see will engage the audience somehow–that they’ll feel something, be touched somehow, by it.
I haven’t been to a burlesque show in quite some time – even though it’s one of my favorite things ever to watch. This show will have burlesque AND cupcakes. That sounds like a tiny slice of heaven to me.
It’s a great combination, isn’t it?! Hope you make it to the show!
