Fabulous Fringe: a Speakeasy Gala
Doors 630pm, Show #1 Starts at 715pm
The event will include a delicious, award-winning Italian-fusion dinner and drinks, hosted in Bernini of Ybor's secret gem: their sumptuous, newly-redecorated private third-floor party space.
Tickets for Friday's program include: two 60-minute long multi award-winning Fringe shows, light appetizers, a buffet-style dinner between shows, and two of Bernini's famous "Western Son" martinis. The evening will also include a silent auction offering unique wares from many local businesses.
For theatergoers on a budget, Fringe will host these same shows for a Preview Night (with a cash bar and no meal component) on Thursday, January 19th.
The Shows:
Paul Strickland: 90 Lies an Hour
"90 Lies an Hour" is a collection of hilarious Tall-Tales and other fictions from multi-award winning humorist and storyteller Paul Strickland. "90 Lies an Hour" won BEST SOLO SHOW, COMEDY at the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival, an official ENCORE Award at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, and a Storytelling World Awards Honor. It has been performed at universities, performing arts centers, and storytelling festivals all across the US and Canada.
Vulva Va-Voom: Hollywood Psychic of the Golden Age
Gritty vaudeville comedian Vulva Va-Voom has a mysterious new gift...or is that "grift?" The headliner ditches her burlesque schtick for a supernatural talent: contacting stars of the 1950s. With help from a ventriloquist dummy possessed by Jimmy Stewart, nightclub ne'er-do-well Va-Voom battles an uptight intellectual property lawyer & the fleeting nature of fame itself. From the triple threat behind three Fringe "Edge Award"-winning pieces comes this risqué, goth-y cavalcade of nerdiness.
