TEN-FOOT RAT CABARET to Play UNDER St. Marks 11/2

Ten-Foot Rat Cabaret returns to heat up the chill of autumn! The cabaret that brought you such luminaries as Anthony Atamanuik (30 Rock, Trump Dump on Howard Stern; Atlantic Monthly), Reformed Whores (opening act for Alice Cooper, Weird Al Yankovic), Taradise (2014 Burlesque Idol Award winner) and Dwayne Hill (Mean Girls) returns on Wednesday, November 2 at 9:30pm.

Featuring their inspired, curated monthly roster of smart comedy, thrilling music, clever storytelling, sexy burlesque, and theatrical vaudeville spectacle, the show that "forever and irrevocably altered the soul of variety in Old Gotham" offers an amazing lineup of new talent and the best of our returning nightlife superstars. Celebrate the energy of autumn with physical comedy, old world decadence, sexuality, costumes, rock 'n roll, sketch comedy, theatrical characters, and stories!

We're pleased to announce the return of one of our favorite bands: the glorious, sweeping, soulful sounds of SisterMonk will grace the Rat's stage again. We'll have clever witty comedy from Nat Towsen, and a dose of David Lee Roth-inspired vaudeville-magic from downtown legend Tanya Solomon. Much more to come - check the site (www.tenfootrat.com) for latest info!

Hosted by Stand Up Comic/Storyteller Jillian Thomas (MTV Live, The Toronto Show, The Buzz, Listen Missy, Much Music's Love Court), Ten-Foot Rat Cabaret presents the greatest music, best dancers, smartest comedians, funniest storytellers and just plain unique acts for one thrilling evening of entertainment. Talent from New York City and around the world takes the stage at the legendary UNDER St. Marks in the heart of the East Village for this monthly event.

The show on Wednesday, November 2 will feature a bevy of talent along with our Artist-in-Residence, the funny, brilliant, and strange Bill Chambers. Expect the unexpected, as he might tell a morbidly funny tale of Gotham apartment hunting, animate a dead Teddy Ruxpin a la Mary Shelly, arrange a special appearance by Neil Diamond, or shock you with his live murderbag (seen in the FRIGID Festival, Canuck Cabaret, and punk rock shows all across the Former Communist Bloc).

Master of dark "German" nightclub humor and Continental kitsch, Gregory Levine as "Gregor of Berlin" will regale the audience with horrid tales of Teutonic childhood, decadence, morphine, prostitution, and of course, life in European show biz (seen in the Capital Fringe, FRIGID Festival, Travel Channel, Guilty Pleasures Cabaret and Guinness Book of World Records for Longest Continuous Variety Show).
