Ten-Foot Rat Cabaret Returning to UNDER St. Marks, 4/6

It's Back! The show that "forever and irrevocably altered the soul of variety in Old Gotham" returns after its March vacation, with an amazing lineup of new talent and returning nightlife superstars. It's the Ten-Foot Rat Cabaret at UNDER St. Marks, with its carefully curated monthly roster of smart comedy, thrilling music, clever storytelling, sexy burlesque, and theatrical vaudeville spectacle.

The show on Wednesday, April 6th will feature:

Unique Sketch comedy: Blizzard of '96 (seen at the UCB, NC Comedy Arts Festival 2016, NYC SketchFest 2015 at the People's Improv Theater)

(http://blizzardof96.com/about.html)

Hot Conceptual Burlesque/Dance: Mary Cyn (known for the long-running Original Cyn shows, Bardlesque Shakespearean burlesque, and anything that combines intellect, nerd culture and theater with striptease.)

Hilarious comedy: Katie Hartman (half of the outrageous sketch duo Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting), called "One of the 25 funny people that should have their own TV show" by Complex Magazine. Co-creator/co-star of the web series "Made To Order," listed as one of "6 Brilliant Web Series" by Marie Claire.

Gorgeous sweeping music: Andalusia, whose members blend rock and jazz with the ancient soulful sounds of Spain and North Africa.

Funny, brilliant and strange: Bill Chambers, the Rat's Artist-in-Residence, who 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.)

Dark "German" nightclub humor and kitsch: Gregory Levine as "Gregor of Berlin," regaling the audience with tales of Teutonic childhood, decadence, morphine, prostitution, and of course, life in European show biz. (Seen in the Capital Fringe, FRIGID Festival, Travel Channel, and Guinness Book of World Records for Longest Continuous Variety Show.)

Hosted by Stand Up Comic/Storyteller, Canadian Import Jillian Thomas (MTV Live, The Toronto Show, The Buzz, Listen Missy, & Much Music's Love Court). "Who needs D*ck Jokes, this woman has Balls!" -Dave Morris
