Ladies, I've got your girls' night out covered for this weekend. Grab your best mates and head to the Cavalotti Hall on Saturday for Nanaimo's version of Full Monty.
Complete with stripping and a man in drag, the show is shaping up to be quite an event.
"There is a lot of excitement about it," said Pattie Walker, of Pattie's Party Palace. "It looks like it will be a sold-out show."
Walker, who is helping sell the $20 tickets on behalf of Wonderlust Productions, said her supply is dwindling as Saturday quickly approaches.
Before the clothes of the five Full Monty stars come off, Ms. Vikki, a drag queen performer and comedian, will get the party started ready for the main event.
"He's quite talented," Walker said. "It's going to be quite the show."
Both men and women are welcome to the attend the show at 2060 Wellington Rd. East.
"Everyone we've spoken to is looking forward to it," Walker said.
Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available through Pattie's Party Palace, Flawless Complete Hair & Esthetics or by calling Wonderlust at 250-716-5878.
