We're in one business: selling out venues.


This is me, shouting "die motherfucker" and shooting at Anita and Clams in the opening number of the sold out ROYALE WITH CHEESE: The Burlesque Tribute to Pulp Fiction at Joe's Pub on Saturday night--while Fisherman's trio plays Misirlou. Of course, I missed, and it's a fucking miracle and I want to acknowledge it!

The whole show was a fucking miracle; yup, sold out Joe's Pub, and a tremendous night with a fantastic cast. Some of Clint Hild's excellent shots of the whole show can be seen here on my Flickr page.

I want to dance. I want to win. I want that trophy.


Royale With Cheese: The Burlesque Tribute to Pulp Fiction is going to be an amazing night, the biggest show we've ever brought to Joe's Pub. Among all the great stuff, I'm hosting our own version of the Jack Rabbit Slim's twist contest, with awesome dinner-and-a-movie prizes from Two Boots Pizza and Video, home, not at all coincidentally, of the Mr. Pink pizza.

BTW, this really was the last time Travolta was cool, right? Ok, maybe Get Shorty. And maybe (MAYBE) Face/Off. In the ads for his new movie, he cribs his own classic "Royale with Cheese" line, and it just makes me sad. But hey, free promo for our show!

Pulp Fiction in 30 seconds, performed by bunnies.

You're welcome.

A little something to get you in the mood for Royale With Cheese: The Burlesque Tribute to Pulp Fiction, next Saturday night!

There are a ton of these on this site, and they're all fun; I think Die Hard is my favorite.

You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France?


No man, they have the metric system, they don't know what the fuck a quarter pounder is.

2010: the excitement starts now.

A very busy December culminated in our triumphant burlesque tribute to the late, great Patrick Swayze last night at the Kraine Theater: Swayze For You!

There's a whole lot happening to kickstart the new year (including, I don't know, maybe more frequent blog posts. I hate resolutions.) But here's a taste of the next Casino O'Fortune Cookie production, coming in February!


Look familiar? How about this?

Shot by the fabulous Ted D'Ottavio. More to come...this is gonna be good.
