SEE YOU SOON!

THE NERDY CABARET RETURNS FOR PART DEUX AT THE MIDDLE EAST! 

Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring comedy, song, dance, and theatre, distinguished mainly by the performance venue—a restaurant or nightclub with a stage for performances and the audience sitting at tables (often dining or drinking) watching the performance being introduced by a master of ceremonies or tomfoolery.

Cabaret also refers to a Mediterranean-style brothel—a bar with tables and women who mingle with and entertain the clientele. Traditionally these establishments can also feature some form of stage entertainment, often singers and dancers.

Spectra Events' NERDY CABARET will feature a diverse line up of entertainment from secretaries, sluts, songstresses, and a sultriness of the intellectual sort. We've finally created a space where hipsters are encouraged to sport their fake wide-rimmed glasses and your came-after-work-didn't-have-time-to-change ensemble could even pass as kinky. Nerdy science jokes, political sattire, hip-hop storytelling, and sexy role-play involving inanimate objects are all encouraged. 

AUDIENCE: You are encouraged to dress up as SLUTS, SECRETARIES, and/or your favorite SONGSTRESSES (Madonna, Gaga, Nina, Tina, Beyonce… the possibilities are endless)!

ADMISSION: Sign up for the $8 Guest List. Or, prepurchase your ticket for $8. Cost is $10 at the door.

MEET YOUR HOSTS: IDALIA AND SPECTRA

SPECTRA is the intellectually artsy mastermind behind Spectra Events (and their new show, the Nerdy Cabaret).

This creative nerd, introverted socialite, and femme-lovin' Naija boi digs video games as commentary for the human experience and multivariable calculus as a metaphor for relationships.

When s/he's not making love to a piano (or other inanimate objects), s/he's blogging about more serious stuff at www.spectraspeaks.com, espousing un-proofed formulas for optimizing polyamorous connections, and pondering the science of love at @iqwoc on Twitter.

Brand of Nerd: CREATIVE

IDIALIA is a fierce Puertominican poet; a proud nerd, and a lover of safe words like pancakes, hickies, and sugarmelt.

She began writing for herself, until she looked around only to realize the scarcity of voices like hers -- queer brown artsy and kinky -- in the media, so now she writes for everyone else; for the kid in kindergarten who cried after someone made fun of his accent, for her little sister who asked her to pass the “people colored crayon” (peach), for the transgender girl who smiled after putting on lipstick for the first time, and to the people privileged enough to ignore the injustices that exist in the world. 

Follow her on Tumblr and on Twitter, and maybe she'll blow you a kiss.

INTRODUCING: YOUR NERDY PERFORMERS!

DAME JANE

Claire “Dame Jane” Byers was born into a creative family who grew up making music together. Surrounded by her father’s compositions, she has been gliding on song since her days in the womb. Song emerged with her first words. Even at five, she was preoccupied with songs about love.

This musical mistress is pleased to emerge out of her previous sultry darkness to bring you the darling “Dame Jane” with a brighter, child-like wonder about that thing called love. She is working on her Masters at Lesley University, learning how to heal with song.

GEEGEE LOUISE

"Shh! Turn down the lights;
Lean forward for a wonderful sight.
Close your eyes and enjoy the touch;
But will the shivers be way too much?
Reach! Embrace the temptation;
Pleasure waves become vibration.

Oh, yes! Did you hear that growl?
Something sexy is on the prowl.
He has arrived; Geegee is here!
Slowly clothes, he begins to tear.
Watch his body as he shakes,
Then struts all over the hearts he breaks."

Nothing more to be said. Drool over GeeGee at his Website and/or Youtube!
