What Is GLITORIS!?
GLITORIS is a musical/comedy/burlesque concert event, created by and starring stand up comedian and singer Kaitlin Colombo (Last Comic Standing, E!, MTV, FOX). Harkening back to the early days of 20s- and 30s-era Vaudeville, the show features beautiful dancing girls, a live 7-piece Big Band and ten show-stopping musical numbers - all punctuated by Kaitlin's dirtiest, smartest and funniest material.
And the music, you ask? The music is all 90s-era Alt-Rock, rearranged in the style of 1940s Big Band. So imagine...Marilyn Manson's "The Dope Show" as a Fosse-inspired bump-and-grind dance number, "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind as an Andrews Sister song, and Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know" mashed up with "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend".
This hilarious burlesque extravaganza makes its world debut in Los Angeles in Spring 2015!
