Combining massive millinery with nearly continuous music, song and dance - BBB jets the audience through time and space in blinks of an eye - spoofing everyone from Tiger Woods to Louis XIV, and reliably delivering a hilarious performance.
The crowd is largely visitors, but the show's over-the-top costumes and irreverence reflect legitimate and notable elements of San Francisco culture. It's not entirely a joke... or maybe it is? :)
Founded by Steve Silver in 1974, BBB started at Club Savoy Tivoli (up on Grant st) and has continued under his wife since his death in 1995 - and still sells out, regularly.
Owing to the liquor license, the show is 21 and up (except Sundays). Otherwise, Golden Boy Pizza is just across Columbus on Green St.
