The National Pastime Theater in association with Sweet and Lowbrow Productions presents Oosha Booms Burlesk Idol, Chicagos ORIGINAL amateur burlesque competition. Oosha Booms Burlesk Idol returns February 6th, and will run the first Saturday of every month, after its sold out debut in December. Burlesk Idol will offer an evening of professional and aspiring Striptease Starlets, hosted, of course, by Oosha Boom, The Phoenix of Phunk!

During the evening, 12 contestants will have 3-4 minutes each to show their shimmy to a panel of expert celebrity judges. Contestants will also be quizzed on burlesque history and culture. In addition, 3 of Chicago's most exciting professional peelers will be there to show everyone how it is done. Winners will receive a cash prize, a paid booking in an upcoming show, as well as other glamorous goodies!!

There will be 9 rounds of competition to accommodate our many hopefuls, with a bracket system, resulting in an ultimate winner in December.
