'Game of Thrones' burlesque show: 7 photos

And why not? There is now a Game of Thrones burleque show and author George R.R. Martin has given the event his personal blessing. In fact, this week’s show is being held at his own theater (photos below).

Virginia-based burlesque company Blacklist Burlesque is staging “Burlesque is Coming: A Tribute to the Works of George R.R. Martin” at the Martin’s Jean Cocteau Cinema this week. The show—currently about two-thirds of the way through a nationwide tour—promises to be a “hilarious and sexy parody” of the series based on Martin’s bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire saga.

Martin touted the show his blog. Well, it’s about time Game of Thrones got a little bit sexy. Here are some more pics — seven total, one for each kingdom in Westeros (and here is the list of remaining tour dates).
