Halloween Screams Early for the Empire Revue

What do you do when your show is THREE WEEKS before the spookiest night of the year? You celebrate OKTOBER FEST! That's right, dust off the old lederhosen-- we're going to Bavaria! Hold on to your knickers, guard your Hosentürl and get ready for the OKTOBER 5th Show! We know you'll want to get ready for a fine evening of beer consumption by learning a few useful phrases:


* Ich will dich. - I want you.
* Zieh das aus! - Take this off!
* Bitte hör auf! - Please stop!
* Sachte! - Easy tiger!
* Das war seltsam. - That was weird.

That ought to get you through the night. Oooohh, that's a rather hot look, actually.

Anyway. . .

Expect the usual fantastic guest acts, another puppet show, a visit from our favorite restaurateur, a few scantily-clad and brilliant ladies and one mummy. . . we mean, Bill Wood. Halloween Screams Early for the Empire Revue! See you there!

We reach into the anus, I mean the annals of US Presidential history and piece together a non-linear look at our collective past. Here's an example of our puppet mash-up:


As the election approaches, we will continue to bring you ridiculous puppetry to with the hope of lessening the burden of obsessing over the current race for the White House.
