Naked & Crazy Burlesque

An Important Update from Naked & Crazy Burlesque:

With a heavy heart, I’m sharing that Naked & Crazy Burlesque is taking a pause for 2026. Holiday Aftermath has been a cherished tradition. Stepping away for this year's timeline is a truly difficult decision.

Due to a few behind-the-scenes schedule shifts, personal matters, and venue updates, we’re taking this pause to build out a milestone 10th anniversary production that does the last decade justice.

We love this community so much and are so grateful for your support as we prep for next year. Get ready for November 2027, it’s going to be worth the wait!

Sad to see Helltown leave the strip.

As a producer with a scheduled date this now puts our production in a bind that unfortunately is similar to the other closures we've experienced in our tenure.

Finding a replacement venue for November is now my priority. Guidance and suggestion is appreciated as it is still hard out here to find spaces willing to work with our art form.

Naked & Crazy has been around 9 years and a bump in the road is just that...

We'll see you soon.

After many memorable years serving the Strip District community, Helltown Brewing has made the difficult decision to close its taproom at 1700 Penn Avenue, with our final day of service scheduled for August 30, 2026.

The property that has been home to our Strip District location is expected to be redeveloped by its ownership into a new residential project, bringing this chapter of our history to a close.

While saying goodbye to this location is bittersweet, Helltown Brewing remains
commited to brewing exceptional beer and serving customers throughout Western Pennsylvania. Our brewery operations continue, our beers will remain available through our distribution partners, and we look forward to welcoming guests at our remaining taprooms.

We are incredibly grateful to our employees, loyal customers, musicians,vendors, neighbors, and the entire Strip District community who made this location such a special place over the years. The friendships and memories created here will always be part of Helltown's story.

We invite everyone to join us throughout August as we celebrate the people and moments that made 1700 Penn Avenue more than just a taproom—it became a gathering place.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We look forward to raising a glass with you before we close this chapter and begin the next. Keep your eyes open as we look to settle into another Pittsburgh location. We will continue to provide live entertainment until we close and we invite you to join us Sunday August 2nd from 1-4PM for our 15 Year Anniversary and a special tribute to Jerry Garcia from Reuben's Painted Mandolin.

Huge thank you to Helltown Taproom Strip District for hosting us and to our incredible audience for showing up and supporting live performance.
Most importantly, a massive thank you to our cast and crew. As we embark on our 9th year of production, I am constantly in awe of the talent, hard work, and dedication this team brings to the stage. None of this happens without this specific group of people and the magic they create. We'll see you in November but keep your eyes peeled for surprises this year 😘

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. - Eden Ivy
