Wasabassco is New York's premier wasabi hot pepper sauce manufacturer and proud producer of the best burlesque in the five boroughs. A burlesque leader, this family of beautiful girls and charming gents creates couple-friendly, classy, funny, sexy, standard-raising shows that are as entertaining for the performers as they are for the audience. 

Wasabassco, the infamous purveyor of hot sauce and hot women, brings its diabolical brand of burlesque to Manhattan for the first time ever, where everything will go to hell... literally. When seven gorgeous women and one charming trickster dally with the devil, beauty gets sinister and the performances pernicious in WASABASSCO'S EVIL NIGHT at the Kraine. So trade your eternal soul for the chance to see nefarious numbers by Delirium Tremens, Gigi LaFemme, Little Brooklyn, Nasty Canasta, Nelson Lugo, Peekaboo Pointe, Ruby Valentine, Scarlet Sinclair, hosted by Jonny Porkpie as Mephistopheles.

Delirium Tremens

A sultry and sexy siren. As her name suggests, seeing Miss Tremens perform may induce sweating, trembling and desperate hallucinations. With acts ranging from classy to camp, you never know quite what to expect. Will she be a 50s-style starlet, punk rock chick with an attitude, Bettie Page look-alike or a kitten with a dexterous tongue? You'll need to see her to find out. Miss Tremens was classically trained at the Joffrey Ballet School and the School of American Ballet . She is a fan of old-fashioned Hollywood glamour and classic movie musicals, as well as a modern girl who participates in the gothic and fetish scenes in New York . Miss Tremens performs frequently all around New York City .
