The Limbo is Louisville’s newest and only tiki lounge and the home of Titty Tiki Tuesdays. Ethel Loveless hosts and produces this show every Tuesday with different performers each week. Many forms of burlesque, boylesque, drag, and other varieties are included in the night’s festivities. You never know what you’re going to get!

The night starts with DJ MINT spinning  tunes at 9:30 p.m. Around 10:20 p.m. the show begins with Loveless’ outrageous introductions of performers and audience banters. The first half of TTT consists of practiced routines that the performers brought to showcase. However, the music and theme of the performers is chosen by DJ MINT and the performers have no idea what is coming. DJ MINT selects a song from his crazy insane vinyl collection and each performer must improv dance.

Olivia Griffin, owner of Limbo, came to Loveless over a year ago wanting to bring new breath to Louisville burlesque and Loveless said, “I was all over it.”

Starting a monthly local burlesque show “Prohibition Parlour” at The TAJ in Jan 2017, transformed into the beloved “Titty Tiki Tuesdays” at The Limbo.

I learn something new each week and this summer Titty Tiki Tuesday will reach new heights now that there is an outside patio. Bitches love a good patio. – Loveless

Loveless wants to eventually get enough sponsorship to bring in more out of city and state performers to shake their stuff and put Louisville on the burlesque map.

More on Limbo

Owner, Olivia Griffin moved to Kentucky from San Francisco in 2014 and realized there was no tiki bar in Louisville. Having spent her 20’s experiencing the wonders of classic Bay Area tiki bars like Smuggler’s Cove, Forbidden Island, and Trader Sam’s, she has always sought out unique, themed bars in every city she has visited.

With a background in theater, design, and event production, Olivia will be booking entertainment nightly for the stage at the Limbo featuring vinyl djs, burlesque shows, string quartets, swing dancing, and live bands ranging from Surf Rock, Hawaiian Swing, Latin, and Calypso.

Olivia is an ambassador of the South 4th District, owning and operating hat and apparel shop “The Mysterious Rack” at 558 S. 4th Street for 3 years. Transporting people to another space and time and creating a 360 degree memorable, one of a kind experience is the desire and objective of the staff and owner of the Limbo. Swing by our “Tiki-z” tucked behind Crafts Gallery across from the Louisville Palace, and have a night you will never forget.
