Mondays at 8PM February 1
Galapagos Arts Spac
A First Look at NYC's
Finest Emerging Variety Talents
Circus * Sideshow * Vaudeville * Burlesque
* Dance * Music
Come to Dumbo Brooklyn for a spectacular night
of variety entertainment: tap dancing bears,
Kung Fu juggling, trained rats, clown bands,
aerial artists, wire walkers, sword swallowers,
a bit of burlesque, physical comedy, contortionists
and cowboys. Every show offers amazing sights,
quirky surprises, and some of the best variety
artists working New York and the world. And
at every show you will witness your host Keith
"Bindlestiff" Nelson attempt the
Human Blockhead Kendama Feat. Always entertaining,
nearly successful, this daring and painful
feat has never been accomplished.

of every month to New York City's variety,
vaudeville, aerial, and circus artists. Celebrating
works in progress, emerging artists, and professionals
trying something new, this night promises
many surprises.

Morphium
A Cabaret by Kim Smith
Sunday, January 31 at 8PM
Don't Tell Mama
2009 Bistro Award
Winner and 2009 MAC Award Nominee KIM SMITH
Returns to Don’t Tell Mama, Sunday,
January 31, charting a dark and whimsical
path through the arrivals and departures of
a neo-Weimar, musical misfit in “Morphium;”
his latest sauntering jaunt through life's
shadowy alleyways. Jerry Steichen accompanies
on piano. Singing in German, French and English,
Mr. Smith has chosen a compelling international
collection of songs to showcase his extraordinary
range as singer and actor, reinterpreting
works by Weimar-era composers, and modern-day
artists alike, including: Friedrich Hollaender,
Mischa Spoliansky, Rudolph Nelson, The Supremes,
Kylie Minogue, The Divinyls, Harold Arlen
and myriad glittering others. Morphium was
originally commissioned by the Neue Galerie’s
Café Sabarsky as part of their March,
2009 season. After enjoying a sold-out debut
at the Sabarsky, Morphium has since performed
at Melbourne’s Butterfly Club in a limited
run, before returning to New York’s
iconic cabaret and alternative performance
melting pot, Joe’s Pub at the Public
Theatre, in July 2009.
Tickets are $15 For more

NAKED
GIRLS READING Pulp: Gotham's Seedy Underbelly
Friday, January 29, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Madame X
In January, hit nude
literary salon Naked Girls Reading is throwing
a nationwide book release party for the publication
of burlesque-infused pulp murder mystery "The
Corpse Wore Pasties" by Jonny Porkpie.
The celebration kicks off this weekend in
Chicago, the birthplace of Naked Girls Reading,
with "Naked Girls Reading PULP! - celebrating
the cheap and tawdry" on Sunday, January
3rd at noon. "When I think of cheap and
tawdry, I think of Jonny Porkpie," said
NGR Nationwide producer Franky Vivid. "So
what better way to honor the release of his
book than with a reading of other cheap and
tawdry literature?" After the nude literary
celebration kicks off in Chicago, it will
travel through the NGR branches in Seattle
WA, Key West FL, Dallas TX, (and perhaps Madison
WI, Miami FL, and Denver CO as well) before
landing in New York on Saturday, January 29
at 8:00pm for NAKED GIRLS READING Pulp: Gotham's
Seedy Underbelly. Nasty Canasta (who is also
fictionalized as a character in "The
Corpse Wore Pasties") leads an all-star
cast of burlesque performers reading selections
from pulp novels set in the Big Apple, including
Mickey Spillane, Ed McBain, Cornell Woolrich,
and (not co-incidentally) Jonny Porkpie. But
Porkpie isn't the first burlesque performer
to pen a lurid pulp murder mystery; he follows
in the high-heeled footsteps of the great
Gypsy Rose Lee, who published "The G-String
Murders" in 1941. "We'll be reading
from both burlesque murder mysteries,"
said star Nasty Canasta, "and determine
who is the more attractive author. Oh, no,
wait, we don't have to read from the books
to do that. Gypsy is the more attractive author.
Porkpie's cute, but come on. It's Gypsy, for
crying out loud. Anyway, we'll read selections
from both books." "Beautiful women
nationwide reading my novel in the buff?"
said Porkpie. "What more could any author
ask for? And I hope this event will encourage
everyone reading 'The Corpse Wore Pasties'
to do so naked. Except if they're on the subway.
That's probably not a good idea."
Tickets $20- $25. For more
