Be Afraid! It's Things that Go Bump (and Grind) in the Night! -

Our show is a goody bag filled with all the best tricks, treats, and temptations.  It’s spooky, it’s sexy, and it may be the most fun you can have without selling your eternal soul to the damned.*

It’s our favorite time of the year at DIVA or Die, when the foggy San Francisco summer slips almost imperceptibly into a weirdly warm-ish fall. It is the time of year when you want to take a walk in the fall foliage, rake leaves, start a cozy fire in the fireplace, and cuddle up with a Hot Toddy and a good book...well, in many other parts of the country at least.
But it is San Francisco and the leaves are probably still green-ish, you can start a fire if there is no unhealthy air quality warning and, well, enjoy that cozy book with Hot Toddy or a Pumpkin Spice Latte with Oat Milk. Hopefully it is a scary book. Because the other great thing about the fall is...Halloween!
Our last show of the year is pretty darn close to Halloween. So close, in fact, that we can’t possibly ignore this favorite holiday of so many. Naturally, we are embracing it! But Halloween isn’t just about blood and gore and scary movies and scary books. It is about the subtle psychology of a real thriller, the screams in the dark that pierce your ears, the sexy seductions that happen before the bloodlust, and the dreams that wake you up in a cold sweat.
🎃We have a chilling cast for you, with Emcees Suprema de la Rouge and Calliope Quaint and our special guest headliner, Sydni Deveraux! .deveraux 🎃
