*SPECIAL DISCOUNTS IF YOU WEAR YOUR CHEEKY MONKEY SIDESHOW BUTTON!!!!

Hi folks!

I’ve just returned from a week long tour through PA and NY. A little Sideshow, a little Music, and even a little relaxation!

August is here now, and I’m surprised at how fast it’s disappearing already! There are several exciting shows coming up this month, including the Cheeky Monkey Tiki Party at the Palace of Wonders. Everyone loves Tiki parties *especially you Brady’s. Throw in some Cheeky Monkeys and you know it’s going to be outrageous! Plus we will be having as a special guest my ~favorite~ tiki goddess herself, L’il Dutch!

Last month I did two shows at the Comedy Zone in Crystal City, VA. This is a great venue, and a new and interesting challenge. This is not the usual drunken bar/festival crowd. These were civilized human beings, who like watching variety acts. while eating dinner. All those things my mom always said not to do at the dinner table came flooding back. “don’t stick things in your nose at the dinner table” “don’t swallow more than you can chew” etc. that kind of rules out Blockhead and Balloonswallow. and even though mom never said anything about walking on broken glass while at the dinner table, my past experience w/ audience members losing it hearing the glass break beneath my feet told me it might not be a good idea.

But the straitjacket, however, seemed like a ~perfect~ choice.

other gigs this month:

Comedy Zone – Saturday, August 15th

CMSS Tiki Party @ the Palace – Friday, August 21st

Tilted Torch @ the Palace – Friday, August 28th

Varietease in Richmond VA – Saturday, August 29th

In other news: a few Mab/Wedji sightings!

* You can find a picture of Wedji TuCheeks in the latest Daily Crock, the Faerie’s Magazine.

* you can hear my interview on Wayne Kaiser’s Ballycast, The Podcast of the Carnival, Sideshow and Burlesque

* you can find me at the NY Ren Faire, Playing drums with Karpathos

* and I even made it out to the 98 rock morning show. it was a miracle that I was up that early, so I have no idea what I said. if you were one of the folks who were luck enough to catch it, drop me a line to let me know how I did!

Next month already has tons of great plans! not the least of which is the Carnival of 5 Fires in Richmond VA.

* a brief post about my recent adventures!*

Just returned from a magical land of make-believe found on the top of a mountain. My new Goblin (Trans-Fae) character, Wedji TuCheeks, was a huge hit at the NY Faerie Festival. The kids were a delight! We played, I bought their affections with goblin money, we taught my giant cockroach, Fluffy, new tricks, and I made new friends and saw old ones that have been missed.

The site of the faire was stunning. there was a large creek/small river running along side, with a little waterfall and everything! I hope to have some pictures loaded shortly.

in the midst of playing with faeries, I took a break to hit Asbury Lanes in NJ. what a sweet venue! the stage is built on the center 4 lanes of a working bowling alley. after the show, people told me that they had never seen anything like our show before. well, cats. we want to come back! and we’re bringing friends! I think the Cheeky Monkey Sideshow would ROCK that venue.

in other news! if you don’t subscribe to Ballycast, you should! it’s all about various sideshow performers, old and new. and I enjoy the interviews every episode. Now imagine how fangirl squee I got when Wayne Kaiser asked me for an interview. ^_^

you can check it out here!

and in case you missed it, I’m was also interviewed for sideshow documentary “Step Right Up“.

This month, I’m doing a bit of travel, some vacation, and even some gigs!  I’ll be doing two nights at the Comedy Zone in Crystal City VA.  This is a great gig for me as it challenges me to think outside the box.  The venue is an upscale restaurant high a top the DoubleTree hotel, overlooking Washington DC (the view is stunning!).  this is not the normal, drunken bar crowd, or faire/festival folks.  I always love a challenge!  Looking forward to it!

In the never ending quest to fine tune my skills, to sharpen and hone my craft, after many hours in the lab, creating the perfect synthesis of comedy & sideshow, it is time to finally release my latest project into the wild.

This weekend will be the first time I run my new Goblin Sideshow, starring Wedji Tucheeks! So many new things will be brought to the stage this weekend; new bits, new acts, new characters, new, new, new!

Is it ready? I don’t know. Like a nervous parent kicking the little baby bird out of the nest without checking if the wings are fully developed while there is a hungry fox waiting at the bottom of the tree…um. ok. that metaphor got maybe a little out of hand. Let’s just say I’m as excited as your are to see how this goes!

Come on out this weekend to catch me if I fall!
the details!
