Sirens in a museum?

Burlesque in a museum? Yes, indeed, at the Sizzling Sirens Anniversary Spectacular. The local troupe has been performing burlesque for the past seven years, always with a self-aware wink and respect for the history of the art form. Sizzling Sirens shows are all-out, full-fledged evenings of entertainment. There is, of course, the seductive burlesque dance, but there are also sketches, vaudeville, music, comedy, satire and a ton of creativity. The Sizzling Sirens, who started in 2008, have a rotating cast of players, giving the show a unique flair each time. They are also very serious about their craft, and they hold workshops for new and experienced performers alike to perfect their burlesque chops. The event will be hosted by Jay Siren and Kingfish (of San Francisco's Hubba Hubba Revue). There will also be a stand-up comedy set from comedian (and SN&R's The 420 columnist) Ngaio Bealum. $25, 8 p.m. at the Crocker Art Museum, 216 O Street; www.houseofsizzle.com.
