Foreplay Mondays steam up the start of the week
This January saw the launch of the Erotic Milwaukee Show's Foreplay Mondays and let's just say that the start of the work week has never been so steamy. It goes down every Monday at the Miramar Theater, 2844 N. Oakland Ave., but it's got the sauciness of a Saturday night. In fact, it's probably the most action you're going to get all week.

Mondo Lucha is much more than Mexican wrestling
The Mondo Lucha Variety Show draws inspiration from performance art's strange, seedy past with enough retro kitsch to fill a historic ballroom. It takes the art of Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling, the sass of burlesque, and the curious intrigue of carnival freak shows and throws them into a blender to create a nonsensical, yet totally mesmerizing experience.
