Since the Stud opened in 1966 it has had a reputation as a place where everyone is welcome- so join us at a show where everyone is welcome. And if you just want to happy hour about it join us in our front room for drinks and friendship- no cover.

Featuring:
The Clown:
Your emcee emcee Jillian Gnarling is a soft ghoul with a sharp tongue. The monster princess of our dreams Jillian swings from 1960's pinup to 1980's hair metal goddess to 1940's chanteuse all in 5 minutes. An acrobat of the heart.

The Scarlett:
Scarlett's burlesque and 60's inspired dizzy performances titilate. She has rhymestones on her panties, on her gloves, on her tights, on her eyes. She's hard to look at like the sun.

The Classic:
Paige Turner can polish the keys and polish the boards. She's an elegant talent on and off the piano- poised and glamourful- serving you old hollywood and young San Francisco.

The Sweet:
Roxy-Cotten Candy got the hair flips and fast hips. Tall as a drinka water, or more like soda pop. She's got all the kids jonesing for the sweet stuff. Be careful though she is the gateway drag.

The Shimmy:
Barbie Bloodgloss is a gives glamour and grotesque. Classic striptease and burlesque with something sly and slithery. She spreads rhinestones, ostrich feathers, and fake blood all over the Bay Area. She’ll steal your heart... And eat it too!
