Vanessa Blue to Host Cabaret

Hustler Video director Vanessa Blue will host “Roulette,” which

is billed as an “urban erotic cabaret,” at the Tribeca Performing Arts

Center in tonight in New York

“Roulette” stars “The Punany Poets,” who will help transform the tradition

of open-microphone poetry into a full-scale stage production complete with

monologue, dance and song.

The lyrics are performed against a live band that combines jazz with hip-hop

and rhythm and blues. “Roulette” also stars comedian Sheryl Underwood.

“The cabaret runs a rigorous course from the rude awakenings of sexually

transmitted disease to offering empowerment to those who have suffered

molestation and answers to those seeking safer sex demonstrations,”

according to the promotional material.

The Tribeca Performing Arts Center is located at 199 Chambers Street in New

York, 10007.
