Joe's Pub says…

As Summer closes take a secret peek into Lady Rizo's world. The Assettes bloom, the Orchestra swells, the martinis are freshly dirtied. The whole gang is back to bewitch you again with their infectious new breed of cabaret.

Comedienne, chanteuse and "cabaret superstar" (NY Mag) Lady Rizo and the beauteous Assettes as they host an incomparable evening of caburlesque. Their unbridled femininity will "blow your heart and go down on your mind." (Village Voice)

A magical tour of sultry songs, strip-teasing, living dolls, clogging and more all while straddling this world with a more glamorous and decadent time. The Assettes dance with ferocity and grace while Lady belts out standards, soul ballads, odes d'amour and vintage arrangements of 80s pop. All this backed by the razor sharp 4-piece button down that is the Assettes Orchestra.

A collaboration between some of the finest dancers and musicians in NYC, Lady Rizo and the Assettes started in the side stage of a burrito shack in Queens. In three years they have taken Manhattan by storm performing to sold out crowds in at Joe's Pub, the Cutting Room, The Zipper Factory, Le Poisson Rouge, Mo Pitkins, Lotus, Galapagos, the Speigel Tent at Bard, and The Box.
