The Geekenders are excited to bring one of their most popular past productions back to the Rio Theatre on Friday, June 24. ‘A MARVEL-OUS COMIC STRIP!’ is a burlesque show that celebrates the Marvel characters you know and love with energetic dancing, comedy, and cheeky satire created by artists just as nerdy as you are. This show will feature some old favourites, as well as plenty of new numbers for your viewing pleasure.
The Geekenders’ popular nerdy cabarets combine the irreverence of the Muppets with the polish and showmanship of a Vegas showgirl revue. Some of Vancouver’s silliest and sassiest burlesque dancers will be entertaining you with all different characters from your favourite Marvel comics, movies, and cartoons for ‘A MARVEL-OUS COMIC STRIP!’
So grab a friend and join us for the geeky, sexy, body-positive, energetic, reference-filled and super hot night out with the nerd community that you love!
Hosted by FAIRLITH as Loki
