A wise man once said, “You’d better find yourself an itch to scratch.” And early @letterboxd.social reviewers agree: “Tight & Nerdy,” the world’s first (and only) Weird Al Burlesque documentary, scratches an itch!

It’s nine days to history! (aka: The West Coast Premiere of the documentary about the First Ladies of Weird Al Burlesque) Seats are (actually) going fast.
