This coming Saturday, June 29, 8pm: I am pleased to report the return of the American Vaudeville Theatre Classic, coming to Under St. Marks . What do I mean by “classic”? Well, something along the lines of my favorite edition of my long running show as I produced it at Surf Reality and other places roughly 1998-2001.
The Frigid edition will be a regular series of intimate, informal, seat-of-the-pants semi-improvised revues mixing elements ranging from the old Bowery saloons to Dada Cabaret, to radio comedy, to medicine shows, featuring lots more of my own sketches, monologues and songs than I normally get to squeeze into the bigger shows of the sort I’ve produced over the past few years, plus wonderful line-ups of my favorite variety, music and comedy acts — usually wonderfully unique people of all sorts. This month we’ll have:
Koo Koo the Bird Girl (all the way from Australia)…
whip-cracking tap dancer Maven Peck Peck (Karen Cormier, whom I haven’t presented in about 20 years)…
funny lady Jennifer Glick…
clown duo Jeff Seal and Buttons (Chris Manley)…
plus a tribute to Pride month, and hopefully the actual WEBER AND FIELDS! and more TBA! Above all, good strange fun! More details to follow but I just heard the date was confirmed and I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. Out-of-towners, don’t ye fret, we’ll try to share some video and audio through this medium. Tickets, directions and stuff here.
