The Spoken Nerd: Geeky Stories by Dorky People
An evening of story tellers sharing true tales from very nerdy lives!
The Spoken Nerd is a celebration of the great and noble art form of story telling...but from a very geeky point-of-view. Each show has a theme and each invited guest story teller shares a true and personal story based on that theme. Sometimes the stories are funny, sometimes they're not. Sometimes the stories are serious, sometimes they're not. However, they are always explorations of the human condition immersed in tons of pop-culture. Both theatrical and intimate The Spoken Nerd strives to give a voice to the comic book/gamer/sci fi/science dork in all of us.
But more than than just stories, every show will have non-story artists! Magicians, practical science demonstrations, sideshow artists, string theory lectures, jugglers and Nerd Core Hip Hop will share the stage from time to time. And all of this will come together in an epic nerd stew of awesome.

EPIC WIN Burlesque is proud to announce that our Batman Burlesque show will be making its triumphant return to the Tank Theater in NYC.
EPIC WIN Burlesque presents our very first sequel:
"Holy Sh*t...BATMAN Returns!"
A tassel-twirling tribute to the Dark Knight's friends and foes.
The four-eyed foxes of EW will continue to shamelessly celebrate nerdy delights by writing a love letter. To whom, you ask? To Batman. Yes, *that* Batman, an iconic character whose pop culture presence has spanned comic books, movies, television, cartoons and even video games. Indeed, this month the EPIC WIN crew expands the Dark Knight’s reach by introducing yet another entertainment venue for Batman to explore...the world of burlesque!
Dark, brooding vaudevillian hero Nelson Lugo and pale, maniacal nerdcore rapper Schaffer the Darklord host a tour through Gotham City’s underbelly in which the shadiest nemeses from Batman’s rogues gallery receive revealing interpretations from the likes of NYC burlesque finest superstars!
EPIC WIN Burlesque presents, “Holy Sh*t...BATMAN!” This tassel-twirling tribute to the Dark Knight’s friends and foes promises mystery, nerdery and nudity with titillating cameos from Poison Ivy, Two-Face, The Joker and many, many more. See you in the asylum, clowns.
