What a great night we had last night at Rhythm & Pep Presents Hollywood Glamour & Gore! We can't get over how much talent was in the room last night!

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to ring in the best season of the year...spooky season! And a HUGE thank you to the audience member who won our art auction. Thanks to you, we raised $315 for the Iowa Trans Mutual Aid Fund!

Thanks for Bri Brown for donating such a beautiful piece for such a great cause. Thanks to everyone at xbk, and all our entertainers, and of course, our amazing new producers, Blaire and Amberly, for putting together an amazing show!

Stay tuned for news about the 2027 Rhythm & Pep show schedule!

🎞Performer Spotlight🎞

On any given night, you can find this dark lady at home snuggled up with her demon dog and her favorite book, “At Home Embalming”. She has a knack for serial killer nostalgia and would give her entire skin suit collection to own Lizzie Borden’s axe. Her favorite pastimes include: ice pick lobotomies, stripping for her sweeties,black magic and taxidermy. She’ll rub your lotion in all the right ways and hose you with morbid fleshliness. She’s the SERIAL st****er, Miss Hester Mofet.
