Cherry Pitz and Handsome Brad have decided to make their fortune by producing the worst play ever to hit The Slipper Room — they just have to find a script atrocious enough.

Inspired by a late-night viewing of The Producers and certainly one gummy too many, they now invite you to join them as they review terrible scripts, questionable ideas, and previews of the kinds of performances such theatrical disasters might inspire.

Expect monsters, mayhem, musical numbers, bad decisions, camp chaos, and the kind of comedy that could only come from attempting to pay tribute to the gloriously twisted mind of Mel Brooks.

                Hosted by: Cherry Pitz and Handsome Brad
                Acts by: Desiree DeSade, Jackie Galaxy, Professor M, Queensiñera, and Miranda Raven
                Go-Go: Dylan Mary Jane
                Kitten: Farrah Rose
                Helping Out: Helen Blash and Brief Sweat

This will be Hotsy Totsy Burlesque’s first send-up of comedy legend Mel Brooks — and what better month to bring it to you than June 2026, the month he celebrates his 100th birthday. Mel Brooks is the man who brought you Yogurt (not the food), History of the World (sort of), Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and Young Frankenstein! Born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn — long before it was cool — Brooks went on to become one of the most influential comedy creators of all time, building a career out of fearless satire, absurdity, and gloriously bad taste. The creator of classics including Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, The Producers, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Brooks helped redefine American comedy while lovingly mocking every genre imaginable. Along the way, he became one of the rare entertainers to achieve EGOT status, winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.
