Wet Spots That You Actually Want to See
The Wet Spots
With the Boston Babydolls
Coolidge Corner Theatre
Saturday, October 13, midnight, $16.50
Official site
The Wet Spots are a self-proclaimed "kinky" musical duo that claims to be the "product of a foursome between Cole Porter, Annie Sprinkle, Ira Gershwin, and Dr. Ruth." Frankly, that offspring sounds scary as hell, and the Wet Spots are actually a duo--Cass King and John Woods.
The pair specializes in bawdy songs with titles such as "Labia Limbo," "Sweaty and Stinky," "Piggy Pile," and other titles we can't type without blushing. But it's not R&B-style "let me lick you up and down" whispering. Their songs are absolutely gleeful and might be appropriate at square dances if they had different lyrics.
This act wouldn't be complete without the presence of one of Boston's many burlesque troupes, so the Boston Babydolls will join in the fun and overall atmosphere of playful naughtiness.

While it's true that burlesque completes the evening, you make it sound like The Boston Babydolls are the guests of The Wet Spots. I happen to know it's the other way around. The Boston Babydolls are producing the show, and had the class to bring The Wet Spots all the way across the country to share them with us!
