Tight and Nerdy is a feature-length documentary that takes viewers
on a journey deep inside the world of the first burlesque troupe devoted
to rock music’s multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning misfit, Weird Al Yankovic.
The film documents the troupe’s travels as they get ready to return
to the stage where it all began, giving viewers a glimpse into what
drives this niche art form. With themes of female empowerment,
body positivity and self-acceptance, Tight and Nerdy is aimed squarely
at those who have ever felt powerless, bullied, lonely or simply not enough.
This film ultimately tells the tale of finding connections in a chaotic world,
and learning how to accept that which makes one different,
all wrapped up in big personalities, over-the-top costumes,
unforgettable performances, and an interview with Weird Al himself!
The screening is expected to be followed by a live burlesque show
with Champaign-area performers.
