IIIIIiiiittttttt’s Coming!!! That’s right, it’s the GRAND REOPENING Sideshow Premiere at the Red Palace (formerly the Palace of Wonders) featuring the truly amazing Cheeky Monkey Sideshow. And if you’ve heard rumors we want the place PACKED for that show, you heard right. Prove to all concerned that THE PALACE IS DC’s ONLY TRUE HOME OF VARIETY. So it is written, so it is done. Be there.

Just back from catchin’ two sets of Hollywood’s Freakshow Deluxe, playin’ down to Kings Dominion in Richmond, shows for KD’s Halloween month spook fest. As sweet a show as anyone could ever expect.
