Cherry Pitz & Handsome Brad Present:

A Hotsy Totsy Burlesque Tribute to Rob Reiner https://bit.ly/htreiner or https://www.slipperroom.com 

Handsome Brad has been randomly chosen by a major network to be featured in the reboot of This Is Your Life. There’s just one problem: when the producers looked at Brad’s actual life, they realized… it wasn’t quite ready for an 8 PM prime-time audience.

So, naturally, they made a few adjustments. Actually… a lot of adjustments.

Handsome Brad, this is not your life — it’s Rob Reiner’s life!

But Brad, being a true fan, is more than happy to share the spotlight with the legendary actor, director, and filmmaker whose incredible career has brought laughter, heart, and unforgettable stories to generations of audiences.

CAST

Hosts: Handsome Brad and Cherry Pittz

Acts: Oliver Bliss, Viola West, Persé Fanny, Vincent Gallant, Rocco Chanel, Bitsy Brûlée

About Rob Reiner

Rob Reiner is an American legend. Getting his start as an actor on the groundbreaking hit sitcom All in the Family, where he won two Emmy Awards for his role as Michael “Meathead” Stivic, Reiner made the transition to directing and went on to create one iconic film after another.

He made his directorial debut with This Is Spinal Tap, the now-classic mockumentary that helped redefine comedy filmmaking. He followed it with an extraordinary run of films including The Sure Thing, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally…, Misery, and A Few Good Men, among many others.

Throughout his career, Reiner’s films earned critical acclaim, devoted audiences, and lasting cultural impact. The Princess Bride won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, and This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally… have all been selected for preservation in the National Film Registry for their cultural, historical, and artistic significance. He also received numerous honors recognizing his contributions to entertainment, including the Chaplin Award from Film at Lincoln Center and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Rob Reiner’s unexpected passing was a shock to fans around the world. He will be remembered for the incredible films he created and the joy, laughter, and inspiration he brought to millions of people.

Last year, Hotsy Totsy Burlesque paid tribute to The Princess Bride, celebrating one of Reiner’s most beloved films. This year, we are thrilled to honor the man himself — a legendary filmmaker whose work has brought generations of audiences together through laughter, storytelling, and unforgettable moments.

After all, his films gave us scenes we still quote today — including the legendary moment filmed just three blocks from The Slipper Room at Katz’s Delicatessen in When Harry Met Sally… And yes… we absolutely want what she had.

About Hotsy Totsy Burlesque

Hotsy Totsy Burlesque recently celebrated 19 years of bringing nerdy, theatrical, and delightfully ridiculous burlesque to New York City.

Since debuting in April 2007, Hotsy Totsy has dazzled packed houses with monthly tributes to cult classics, beloved fandoms, and pop culture obsessions. Audiences return again and again for the wild plot twists, spectacular costumes, unforgettable characters, and the ongoing saga of The Home for Wayward Girls and Fallen Women.

Each month, audiences are invited into this ongoing burlesque soap opera, where funds must constantly be raised (and G-strings lowered) to keep the Home's doors open and its residents out of trouble.

Over the years, Hotsy Totsy performers have battled Daleks, Darth Vader, The Borg, the ghost of Vincent Price, network censors, evil from other dimensions—and even COVID-19.

No matter the villain, House Mother Cherry Pitz and Handsome Brad promise one thing: Laughs. Tassels. Glitter. And a very questionable plan to save the world.

Join Hotsy Totsy Burlesque, where the motto is: “We’ve fallen, we can’t get up—and we like it that way!”
