Win Tickets to Celebrate Valentine's Day at The Dirty Show

The Dirty Show is one of our favorite annual events. For over 20 years, they have been seamlessly mixing raunchy and classy together to create a unique experience that celebrates sex, love, lust, art, and performance. This year's celebration of sex features more art, talent, and local food and drinks than ever before.

The full list of artists and performers can be found here, but the highlights include Glenn Barr, Chris Harder, Diane Diesel, Perle Noire, Roxie D'Lite and Jett Adore.You can also see the very talented Holly Hock, who was featured during our Willis Show Bar event (watch here). This immersive experience is designed to help attendees let loose and explore their naughtier side. You can get as weird as you want, meaning you can keep it pretty mild if you just look at the art and watch some of the burlesque shows, or you can take it to the next level if you walk into some of the more hardcore areas that cater to fetishes of all kinds.

 

The fun started last weekend, but you still have three more days to enjoy all things dirty this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. This is the perfect Valentine's Day date and a great girls or boys night out. Tickets to attend are $40 in advance and they can be purchased online here. You can also pick up physical tickets at Noir Leather, Third Man Records, Found Sound, The Road Show, and River's Edge Gallery. These dates will sell out so don't wait until the last minute!

We also have three pairs of tickets to give away for the Valentine's Day show! If you would like to enter to win the opportunity to take your valentine to the dirtiest place in Detroit this weekend, please email your full name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with #dirty. We will draw three names on Wednesday and they will have tickets waiting for them at the event on Thursday night!
