    Description: We’re having a show at the Montserrat House (http://www.montserrathouse.com/) on Feb 24th and would be so happy if you'd like to perform 2 acts that night.

    Our show is called the "Ooh La La Belly Dance and Sideshow Revue" and features both belly dance and sideshow acts.

    There will also be an artwork gallery and (possibly) a DJ party after the show (you're not obligated to stay). Should be a great night of dance, sideshow, art and music.

Testimonials

"...if you don't know Mab, just Mab, you really should. She's a cornerstone of the DC dance and performance community, and without her efforts, I'm not sure the DC tribal and related art scenes would be as tight as we are."
Asharah, Washington DC bellydance artist on her blog (BDPaladin.blogspot.com)

You may or may not have heard about the merging of the Palace of Wonders and the Red & Black into one new venue.

It is the a sad heart that I bid adieu to my sideshow freak home, filled with oddities and eclectic collections.

They say that the burlesque and sideshow will still get a chance to perform at the new Red Palace. but based on the news articles I’m reading, there is little mention of it. I know the Cheeky Monkey Sideshow will be doing one show at the new space in October (the 21st), so we will see what happens then.

so, really, what this means to you…come out this week for the final two shows at the great and wonderful, world’s ONLY sideshow bar, the Palace of Wonders. Let the freaks and geeks know how much you appreciate their unique and unusual entertainment.

Wednesday is the big GRAND FINALE BASH.
the American sideshow historian himself, author of Shocked & Amazed: On and Off the Midway, the dapper and darling James Taylor will be at The Palace Of Wonders Final hoorah Grand Bash this Wednesday! AND UkeCordionPocalypse will be playing a tribute song, written JUST FOR THE PALACE! come out and say good-by to our favorite sideshow bar.

Our Grand Finale will be a chance to say adieu to the current Palace of Wonders. We are bidding farewell with great acts and memories! Sideshow, Comedy, Dance, Burlesque,and more! Post show with Dj Mellie Mel

and then, the final show (if you can’t make it out Wednesday)

THURSDAY!

Come out, come out and KISS YOUR palace GOODBYE at the LAST SHOW BEFORE MASSIVE RENOVATIONS!!! We’ll have some of DC’s top belly dancers (inc. MAVI, NA’LA, and EUGENIA) plus special guest POISON SPOON from Tidewater! We’ll have cabaret from DEBBI LA DOLCE DIVA, sideshow from MAB JUST MAB, and burlesque from a SPECIAL SECRET GUEST! We’ll have the mesmerizing firedance of CLOVIS and a very rare appearance by HILARY FROM SHAKRA!!! And the extemporaneous rantings and musical meanderings of your host, ME, MANKO EPONYMOUS!!! Let’s storm the Palace ONE LAST TIME for ONE SHOW ONLY before EVERYTHING WE LOVE CHANGES FOREVER!!!

This weekend also saw the release of the much anticipated movie, Browncoats: Redemption. I was lucky enough to participate in the filming of this adventure. You can find your favorite sideshow girl eating fire, and heckling the crew from a balcony.

As I’m currently performing at the Maryland Ren Faire with the rest of the Cheeky Monkey Sideshow, I was not able to make it down to Dragon*Con to participate in all the premier fun time! My thoughts (and envy!) with with the rest of the cast and crew.

Check out the trailer and be sure to pick up a copy of the movie for your very own!

Mab on Fox Morning!

07th September 2010

While getting up early is not one of Mab’s superpowers, she overcame near insurmountable odds and came in early to the Maryland Renaissance Festival to be interviewed with the rest of the Cheeky Monkey Sideshow.
