The scene: Epic Win Burlesque Presents X-Men! at Nuyorican Poets Cafe
With San Diego knee-deep in Comic-Con, New York nerds had to find ways to keep themselves amused while waiting for their turn this October. Enter Epic Win Burlesque, whose X-Men–themed show at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe brought everyone’s favorite mutant sex symbols to the stage, along with a few of host and producer Nelson Lugo’s comics-centric magic tricks and a whole lot of glittering spandex. The crowd rewarded the performers with enthusiastic cheers, fueled by years of dedicated Marvel fandom.
