| - I'm actually a little surprised I'm the first to review this. Certainly, someone else would have found this little gem by now.
I was supposed to meet a friend here for their "Underground Screening Room" event tonight. Said friend had to cancel out just as I pulled into the parking lot, but I stayed to see what this show was all about.
Five dollars for this show is a bargain. It's a tiny comics shop in the front, but it's a weird selection of comics. Not the most realized collection I've seen, but they had quirky, unusual stuff here that caught my eye, and will force me to make a return.
As I walked to the back, I bought my ticket for the show. I didn't know what to expect, but they offered popcorn and sodas upfront. Okay, that was a little cool and a nice touch.
The show itself? It was very neat. This little Bohemian group of almost Vaudeville performers doing magic, dance, burlesque, comedy, and more magic. It all felt very fresh and just different, like this little secret hole in the wall filled with cool and awesome things.
Apparently, these shows are once a month, so I will have to go again. They also do classic cult sci-fi screenings. I just missed a vintage Doctor Who marathon (curses), so I decided to add them to my Facebook to keep an eye on their "Coming Events" schedule.
What a weird, wonderful little thing to stumble upon. I like quirk, and this place was full of it. It's nice to see people put so much of their heart into just entertaining the crowd. It all felt very personal, and the performers seemed to be into mingling with the audience during and after the show.
It was the best five dollars I've spent in a good while.
