Tampa Bay Comic Con is this weekend, and after a full day of being surrounded by star-studded panels, wicked cool cosplays, and Funko Pop vendors, some comic book-themed burlesque might just be what conventiongoers need.

Seven minutes away from downtown Tampa is The Ritz Ybor, where the Best of the Bay-winning Femmes and Follies troupe stages a 10th anniversary “cosplay and nerlesque gala” starting right as the vendor hall closes at Tampa Convention Center.

Tickets to Femmes and Follies’ “Comic Book Burlesque” happening Saturday, Aug. 24 at The Ritz in Ybor City are still available and start at $30.

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
