The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

For the summer months, Burlynomicon presents SUMMER CAMP — all darkly decadent, campy acts, only during the summer. Burlynomicon will take you right into the MANGER ZONE this month with an all-holiday drag and burlesque spectacular. July is going to get even more IN-TENTS while pretending that it’s the darker, colder months of the year, where the promise of Santa and the return of the light are just around the corner… and is it really Santa, or is it…………… Kenny Loggins?

Burlynomicon transforms The Coffin into the Summer Camp you wish you went to. Gather in the intimate upstairs venue (around the campfire) to witness a spectacular showing of the best darkly decadent (and campy) performance art among resplendently eerie surroundings, where you can also peruse the delightful wares of our vendor, crack open a cold one, indulge in food to nourish your weary soul, roast some marshmallows (or order from the Coffin Cart), and encounter a magical being that will tell you of your fortune. Be prepared to be the best in the camp game, where you could win the ultimate in camp prizes.

There will also be a camp activity where you can customize any shirt with our BURLYNOMICAMP stencil. Bring your own or choose from an array of up-cycled garments, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the charity of the month.

Take a ride down the Manger Zone highway to witness your entertainers….

  • Wolfgang X
  • Harlow Quinzel
  • Jynx U Omi
  • Luna D’Lyte
  • Lascivious Lenore
  • Ed du Bull

Be sure to check out the glorious vendor Woodburn and Sellwood and the new Burlynomicon Merch. And get a glimpse into your future with OPHELIA DARKLY’s Victorian Doll Tarot readings.

Produced and hosted by Natasha Riot, Burlynomicon is a darkly decadent monthly showcase of performances held every second Tuesday of the month in the incredibly rare, cryptic expanse of The Coffin Club. Venture into the dark speakeasy that features a monthly rotating cast of cabaret and performance art talent from Portland and beyond, where performers present art and beauty with an eerie and humorous twist.
