The local burlesque Le Femme Mystique Burlesque regularly hosts events in Northeast Ohio.

One of its most unique events, Star Wars Burlesque — The Return of the Tease, will return to the Beachland Ballroom at 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 1.

Organizers promise there will be a 7-foot C-3PO drag queen, a Latina “hip-shaking” Captain Phasma and a sexy Lando Calrissian.

“Jedi” Ken Schneck serves as the host, and special guests such as storytellers Dana Norris and the Crooked River Comedy Improv group will be on hand as well.

Tickets are $20 for general admission.
