Del Shores gets more sordid at the Rose Room
In his movies, TV shows and plays, Del Shores vigorously skewers religious fanatics, homophobes and hypocrites by having his characters attack them. In his standup, Shores does the same thing, but the only filter is how much he’s got time to say it. The Texas native returns to his favorite venue, the Rose Room, for more sordid stories of his adventures in Hollywood and church.

His hot bod, which he teases in his stripping routines, will be on display alongside the ladies (and other men) in Texas Burlesque’s tribute to the men and women of the 1950s and ’60s, with classic archetypes of the era (naughty secretaries, anyone?).
