[THEATRE/ VARIETY]
RELEASE THE BATS: The Inglorious Return of the Uncle Typhus Uncommon Burlesque
Cabin fever got you trawling the silverware drawer for the ideal prehensile object?
Bloated and impacted from nog, nut roll and nougat?
Need to be stretched on the rack of poor taste and whipped with a string of shattered Christmas lights?
Then gird your loins for an insidious debacle of recumbent proportions featuring the morbid song stylings of The Drowning Lovers, Curtis Eller, Randy Faust & the Fuckabouts and Rusco Hames & Skooter Puddin Evans; the mindfreak dreamtheatre of The Wholesome Twins; another touching installment of Lucius Robinson's Children's Theatre of Cruelty; the erotic mommy-prowess of dance crew MILF (with Hard Bodeez); Professor Tony Perucci Explains Red Wine; Victoria Facelli's pagan poetry; and another overearnest, wrongful 80's video reenactment from Mistress Rachel and the Klembots.
