52nd City

Variety Show Cometh

Taking the subtler approach of late, we've not bombarded you with announcements about the FREE 52nd City Variety Show taking place this weekend at Art Outside. We've not noted, as well, that the MAGAZINE will be SOLD at several of the vendors, or that our friends (and advertisers) at The Time will be hosting a fashion show on Friday evening.

But we must note today that the 52nd City Variety show, a FREE event on SATURDAY evening is right around the corner, with much merriment to be had, inside the Crown Room of the Schalfly Bottleworks, from 7-9 p.m. At least, it'll start at 7 and will run until our guests are out of top-notch material.

Though we've been subtle in booking our entertainment for the spectacular, earlier conversations suggest that:

Aaron Belz will read some words
Michael Allen will read some other words
Claire Nowak-Boyd will do the "banana dance"
Brian Marston will debut his human beatbox
Stefene Russell will serve as David Letterman, myself as Paul Schaeffer

And this, from Chris King:

I go on first with the following madness: “Goodnight, mother: Selected incest scenes from Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” by William Shakespeare, chopped & screwed and performed by Pickers & Stealers Players, which is me with five finger puppets on the fingers of my left hand (Hamlet described his fingers as “pickers and stealers” in Act III, Scene 2). As for the incest, blame Shakespeare! He wrote this filth!

Family entertainment, for certain.

Be a part of our show? Let me know.
