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.

Recently, on Facebook, there was a meme going around where you were asked to present 25 facts about your self.  Typically, I shy away from those kinds of things.  But then I realized that this could be a comedy exercise.  So I decided to give it a try.
Twenty five lines about one woman.
(doesn’t quite have the same ring as eighty-eight lines about forty-four women…still, worth a shot)

please note! only some of the things on this list are true.  :o )
  1. Mab is training an army of kitties to drive little cat tanks with bubble dome viewing pods.
  2. Mab is preparing for the apocalypse.
  3. Mab is part of a brood of 6 super mutants.
  4. Mab can read your mind and uses this skill to entertain you.
  5. Mab is an enabler. She has made great and wonderful things that have changed the world happen, and no one will ever know.
  6. Mab lives in a secluded place, accessing it through a secret cave hidden behind long vines covered by a waterfall……in the heart of a volcano.
  7. Mab believes green peppers are evil pods from outer space sent here to take over the human race.
  8. Mab fears they may have succeeded.
  9. Mab knows everyone has superpowers.
  10. Mab likes to wrap pigs in blankets, and then dip them in spicy mustard
  11. Mab is a geek in most senses of the word.
  12. Mab knows that old school techno will be considered “classical” music on 200 years.
  13. Mab is terribly shy.
  14. Mab’s battery cell will operate indefinitely so long as sufficient amounts of coffee, beer, and cigarettes are provided.
  15. Mab is actually 98 years old, but the coffee, beer, and cigarettes have preserved her body nicely.
  16. Mab studies comedy.  Because she knows that it is the most powerful tool in her arsenal for world domination. Way better than kitties in bubble tanks.
  17. If the Doctor every crossed her path, Mab would hitch a ride without thinking twice and bring her unique brand of sideshow/comedy to the whole of time and space.
  18. Mab has had excellent and insightful conversations with inanimate objects.
  19. Sometimes, Mab is a Pirate.
  20. Sometimes, Mab is a Ninja.
  21. Mab let her cats type up a few of these.
  22. When she was born, Mab was held by her ankles and dipped in the river ARTS.
  23. As a young child, Mab was shown her future and her past.
  24. Mab had her heart removed from her body, and dipped in boiling lava to render her nigh-invulnerable.
  25. Mab played a chess game while waiting in line for the Van Gogh exhibit outside of the national art museum that saved the world from an evil mastermind.
