Hubba Hubba Revue

Monday Night Hubba a mixed bag of skill and talent.
Noise from the crowd in the back by the bar, throughout the show, was distracting.
Flyers advertise a 9 pm show but it doesn’t start until past 10 pm. You’ll be standing uncomfortably waiting for it to start unless you bought the reserved seating ticket.

I’ve been to one burlesque show at the Pink Door in Seattle and it knocked my socks off, I loved it. I thought it would be similar but it was NOT!!! Raunchy and lame. They brought out three girls on stage at first, then went into intermission. The place had a mixed crowd, the MC’s were not funny, or even fun. We walked out.
Oh well.

Amazing acts, awesome MC’s and entertaining «side show» experiences. I had to laugh at the 2 reviews calling this an «Amateur» act. I have been to burlesque shows all across the country and Hubba Hubba is one of the best in the Country, just ask anyone in the scene.
If you are looking for routines with 5 to 10 women that are all size 0, performing in a Vegas like routine… then go to Vegas… or get tickets to the «suicide girls» traveling show with mediocre talent and dime a dozen routines and no true burlesque factors.
If you are looking for true burlesque with dancers from all over the country (and even the world sometimes) then head to a Hubba show. The monthly shows at DNA are different themes each month, the Monday shows are smaller and more intimate. You will be entertained with dancing, comedy, art and more.
Keep it up!

I LOVE YOU HUBBS!
I’ve been going to Hubba Hubba Revue shows for at least four years. The Monday night show at the Uptown is hands down THE BEST entertainment you can reliably find for $ 5 in the Bay Area. The variety of performers (both local and from all over the world), many of whom are nationally recognized/​award winning, make Hubba impossible to beat.
MCs Kingfish and Kevin are hilarious. If you don’t think so, you’re super boring.
I’m moving to New York in a month and I am bummed I won’t be able to just go to a Hubba show whenever I have a shitty Monday and I need some glitter and booze.

Hubba Hubba Revue is a world-​class show of the best performers from the Bay Area and beyond! These aren’t just your average burlesque performers. You will see every talent under the sun, including amazing hula hoops and aerial stunts!

Best $ 15 I have ever spent in SF!
I went to the soviet union themed burlesque show for a friend’s birthday with a large group of people. The venue was awesome for this type of event and the show was hilarious. Loved the russian accents, surprisingly impressive talent and music. Go with an open mind and you won’t be disappointed!

Burlesque and variety show…
Like one reviewer said, it’s a bit amateur but fun especially if you’ve never been to one like myself. I thought this was going to be purely burlesque but it actually had a mix of other things as well. The show is mostly standing room but there are a few tables and chairs to the side that we were able to snag. Tickets were around 15 bucks I think.
* There were two emcees: this loud chick with huge boobies that overfloweth from her bustier and this guy dressed like a ranger?
* The burlesque acts that were cool to watch. I liked the can can girls and Mexicana dancer. The two Asian girls act was kinda weird. It’s cool how the girls are all different shapes and sizes.
* Another guy threw knives at one of the bellydancers as she stood in front of a wall and strapped to a rotating circle.
* The emcees and a gorilla interacted with the audience in between acts.
* Girl twirling around in the air via ropes. Props to her but nothing that I’ve never seen before.
I liked how a lot of the audience members dressed up all burlesque. Def. will dress up if I check it out again. I think this is a cool show to check out if you’re never been to it before. But I can’t see watching this a second time unless they have different acts.

Loved that the girls were in all colors, shapes and sizes. I didn’t like the fact that it was a 3 hour standing show (no seats). It’s basically a bar/​club scene with a burlesque variety show going on at the same time.
It’s a bit amateur but it’s fun.
4 stars for the show itself. I’m holding back one star for having to stand for 3 hours and for starting 40 mins late.

BAY AREA FINDS NEW ADDICTION FOR BURLESQUE AND HUBBA HUBBA REVIEW IS THE «DRUG» OF CHOICE!
SIT-​REP (Situation Report)
*DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!* NO. That is not a command with the KLAXON HORN alert indicating that a SUB is SUBMERGING, but rather the heads-​up that we have entered the «DIVE BAR» ZONE! AND it’s a «Double-​Header» because Hubba Hubba Review not only resides in just one venue but TWO that I’ve been to: The DNA LOUNGE in SOMA San Francisco and THE UPTOWN in Downtown Oakland.
Both venues lend themselves extremely well to special events of the Gothic-​Industrial-​EBM genre as well as host AMAZING special events in VAUDEVILLIAN and BURLESQUE fashion.
THE SET-​UP
I’ve been going to HUBBA HUBBAs for the last 8 years now. They range from Spectacular Spectacular HALLOWEEN PARTIES featuring burlesque performances by the nation’s most talented women, incredible music performances including the awesome symphonic sounds of ROSIN COVEN, and the wittiest comedy sketch banter led by Master of Ceremonies, JIM SWEENEY (aka the KINGFISH).
But it doesn’t stop there! There are specially THEMED parties and events that take hold of the imagination and include BUCCANEERS, DICTATORS and ALIENSI Truly amazing fun! I ALWAYS have a fantastic time at these extravaganza if I don’t say so myself.
THE LOWDOWN
You are bound to have a great time at any HUBBA HUBBA you attend, and don’t be surprised if you are abducted by GYPSIES or molested by a GORILLA! (I have been by both and I LOVED IT!)
[Ha! The survey at the bottom is asking if this is «Good For Kids?» Since Unilocal is asking, I’m gonna have to say…“YES!” Oh wait, I meant «No.» Whoops! Too late! ;^D

Been by a couple times because it’s hosted by DNA but it’s not really my scene.
That being said I headed over for their xmas party and LOVED the band they had playing, Meshugga Beach Party. I can’t say enough awesome things about them. Fun, cute, and lively enough where a couple hours went by and I didn’t notice until my shoes started hurting.
The dancers didn’t go on until at least midnight, but by that time I’d skedaddled home for work the next morning.
15 dollar cover, totally worth it in this instance.

One of the best shows in San Francisco or Oakland. I have been to the SF and Oakland shows and NEVER am dissapointed! Love it Love it.
OK, why?
1– the MC are really funny and have great energy
2– the acts are really original and unique and sexy with out being OVERLY sexual
3– LOCAL PERFORMERS!
4– Clearly they love what they do.
You NEED to check out a show! I am serious!

A very fun variety show
A solid band backs up a parade of great acts.
Well worth the admission.

I like it!

HUBBA HUBBA!
When I can make it… it makes my month!
Cute dancers with great acts.
Witty hosts.
A great array of people showing up.
What’s not to like?

Okay, I must admit I’m biased.
I have a thing for cute girls, witty hosts, brands that break the mold, and monkeys.
This show has all of these things – and more.
I’ve been going to Hubba Hubba Revue – and Spectacular! Spectacular!, its predecessor – for more than four years. I love it so much I wasn’t satisfied only to be an audience member, and like Lucy pleading with Ricky, I begged my way into the show, first landing on a box in a silly costume as a go go dancer. Then came sketch comedy during openings and between burlesque numbers. Now I actually perform myself – as Lola Vauntz.
Hubba Hubba Revue is more than just a night on the town – it’s an experience, it’s an institution. And… it’s my family.
There’s really nowhere else I want to be every third Friday of the month (and each Monday at the Uptown in Oakland!) than HHR – well, okay, that’s also Fight Night at my martial arts school (Hand to Hand Kajukenbo Self-​Defense Center – reviewed elsewhere: D), and hitting people is REALLY fun – but, no. seriously.
If you want multifaceted entertainment – music, comedy, and of course, BOOBS, this is the place to be.

Hubba Hubba is where it’s at!
I generally avoid clubs, but Hubba Hubba is where my people are at. The greasers and rockabillies, girls dressed like vintage pinups, bands like Devil Doll, Three Bad Jacks, Lee Presson and the Nails, Fromagique, The Wet Spots, Le Plebe. DJ’s playing the rockabilly and jazz swing that gets me out on the dance floor, spinning girls around. Cute and sexy burlesque acts…
Yeah… you can’t keep me away.

Great bands, amazing dancers of all shapes and sizes, a friendly and appreciative crowd… and booze for them what drinks! The third Friday of every month the DNA Lounge and those insane impressarios, Kingfish & Eddie, unleash the bombastic burlesque of the Hubba Hubba Revue on San Francisco. Since I started going in 2008 I may have missed only one show and I never regret the very reasonable cover ($ 10 if you get there before 9:30, only $ 15 after that).
The best of Bay Area burlesque performs: Kellita & Hot Pink Feathers, sparkly Devil, Bunny Pistol, Balla Fire, Tit 4 Tat just to name a few of the acts that regularly grace the stage. A great place to shake your bootie or watch others shake theirs!

I would be remiss if I didn’t admit that I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of the Hubba Hubba Revue family, both as performer and crew member. But please don’t let my bias dissuade you from checking it out! I’ve seen burlesque shows on both coasts and in between, and Hubba Hubba is one of the best groups of performers, MCs, bands, and stage crew I have ever seen.
The monthly themes provide a goofy, loose framework for the skits and performances, and as another reviewer mentioned, provide a great opportunity for audience participation. Bring your latex! Your corsets! Your sailor hats! Your devil horns! Your hand cuffs! The Hubba Hubba welcomes you all.
Did I mention the bands? Hubba Hubba has featured Devil Doll, the Wet Spots, Lavay Smith, Three Bad Jacks, and more.
Did I mention the burlesque dancers? Some of the best performers in the biz take the stage month after month with creative, witty, classic, sexy, surprising acts.
The Hubba Hubba is best enjoyed with open-​minded friends and booze. Enjoy responsibly.

I’m not generally a big fan of burlesque shows, but Hubba Hubba Revue at DNA Lounge is routinely fun, creative, and has great themes! It borrows heavily from Vaudeville, with Kingfish & Eddie acting as MC’s introducing burlesque dancers, singing acts, and acting out intermittent silly skits.
Each month has a theme: Last night’s wacky-​and-​wonderful show was Zombie Beach Party, and there were probably as many «zombie surfers» in the audience as there were on stage! In between performances the audience danced to beach music and beach balls were constantly flying back and forth over the crowd… oodles of fun!
I’ve also enjoyed their Mardi Gras themed evening, as well as the Canada Appreciation night… the latter was probably my favorite of all, since the fabulous sex-​comedy duo The Wet Spots were their featured act of the evening!
I’d definitely recommend this event to anyone looking for fun, frivolity, a little tittilation, and an excuse to dress in costume!!!

I go to a lot of goth events at the DNA, so when we walked into Hubba Hubba I was a bit put off by the crowd. Not to sound like a snotty goth, but there were a lot of people very casually dressed. And to the pervy guy, who took a picture of my boobs, I want a damn commission if you sell that on the internet, haha.
Annnyhow… we went upstairs and the crowd was much better! We thoroughly enjoyed so many of the acts, including the band Devil Doll who seriously rocked. Once thing I really loved was how many different shapes and sizes were on the stage — burlesque is not an art form limited to skinny people. This is not an event to take your conservative friends, since it was definitely HAWT. I will be going again for sure!
