Foxy Tann emcees a revue that twirls its tassels and camps up the art of striptease. Tann promises new performers every show, all of them confident in their sizes and shapes. Bettie Beware does a cowgirl routine that causes us to wonder if Dale Evans ever got jiggy with it. Two drag kings find use for a loaf of bread and a cucumber, and Cheeky Hendricks works her stuff to that well-known striptease number "All By Myself." Yeah, it's that kind of show — best enjoyed with a glass of scotch and 25 or so howling fans. (1 p.m. Sat., 7 p.m. Tue., 8:30 p.m. Aug. 13, 2:30 p.m. Aug. 14; Huge Theatre, 3037 Lyndale Av. S.)
