Greetings, fellow adventurers!

This weekend marks that last moment of breath time before my summer season of shows kicks off.  Grab your calendars and get busy reserving some of these dates!  Ready?  Here we go!

Thu Jun 17         9pm – 10pm    
DCVariety @ the Palace of Wonders

In addition to it being the regular night of amazing DC Variety acts, it is also the Universe Premier of the UKECORDIONPOCALYSE!!!!
UkeCordionPocalypse is my new music adventure.  Teaming up with longtime buddy, and fellow belligerent drunk, Baska D’Joy (and her accordion), this duo promises to sour your karut in the most disturbing of ways.

Fri Jun 18         10pm – 11pm    
Cheeky Monkey Sideshow 5 Year Anniversary show!

Five Freaking Years!  Holy cow.  I must really like these guys!  
The whole, entire, complete mass of Cheeky Monkeys will be assembled in one place, at one time, for one night.  And is that enough for you? No?  (it never is!)  That’s why we will be including audience favorite, Sabrina Chap as our special guest artist!  
Now how much would you pay?  while this would normally be a $20 show, we are keeping the ticket price down, to $10.  Wanna save even more?  well, we cheeky monkeys hear you!  That’s why Swami Yomahmi has devised a devious money saving scheme for all you rabid Cheeky Monkey Sideshow Fans!  this is where you learn more! (and yes, you have to be a facebooker for participate)

Sat Jun 19         9pm – 10pm    
The Schlapentickle Family Burlesque & Revue @ the Soundry in Vienna, VA

This will be our kick off.  come out to see the world premier of the Schlapentickle Family Burlesque and Revue.
also, this is another in my personal continuing Suburban Outreach Program.  We (the Cheeky Monkeys and I) quite often hear from folks who want to see our shows, but don’t want to head into the city.  Well, we are coming out to you!

Fri Jun 25 – 27         
NY Faeriefest

Wedji love NY.  Wedji Tucheeks had a blast last year.  And she’s returning for the full run this year!  It’s a beautiful site, run by amazing fey folk!  She’ll be bringing more buttons and coins, ready to buy your love!

Hi folks!

I’ve just returned from a week long tour through PA and NY. A little Sideshow, a little Music, and even a little relaxation!

August is here now, and I’m surprised at how fast it’s disappearing already! There are several exciting shows coming up this month, including the Cheeky Monkey Tiki Party at the Palace of Wonders. Everyone loves Tiki parties *especially you Brady’s. Throw in some Cheeky Monkeys and you know it’s going to be outrageous! Plus we will be having as a special guest my ~favorite~ tiki goddess herself, L’il Dutch!

Last month I did two shows at the Comedy Zone in Crystal City, VA. This is a great venue, and a new and interesting challenge. This is not the usual drunken bar/festival crowd. These were civilized human beings, who like watching variety acts. while eating dinner. All those things my mom always said not to do at the dinner table came flooding back. “don’t stick things in your nose at the dinner table” “don’t swallow more than you can chew” etc. that kind of rules out Blockhead and Balloonswallow. and even though mom never said anything about walking on broken glass while at the dinner table, my past experience w/ audience members losing it hearing the glass break beneath my feet told me it might not be a good idea.

But the straitjacket, however, seemed like a ~perfect~ choice.

other gigs this month:

Comedy Zone – Saturday, August 15th

CMSS Tiki Party @ the Palace – Friday, August 21st

Tilted Torch @ the Palace – Friday, August 28th

Varietease in Richmond VA – Saturday, August 29th

In other news: a few Mab/Wedji sightings!

* You can find a picture of Wedji TuCheeks in the latest Daily Crock, the Faerie’s Magazine.

* you can hear my interview on Wayne Kaiser’s Ballycast, The Podcast of the Carnival, Sideshow and Burlesque

* you can find me at the NY Ren Faire, Playing drums with Karpathos

* and I even made it out to the 98 rock morning show. it was a miracle that I was up that early, so I have no idea what I said. if you were one of the folks who were luck enough to catch it, drop me a line to let me know how I did!

Next month already has tons of great plans! not the least of which is the Carnival of 5 Fires in Richmond VA.

In my attempts to saturate the digital airwaves, as well as keep up with the hundreds of Joneses, I now have a Twitter acctount!  I swear I will only post meaningful and insightful content. Honest.    Follow me if you dare!

Web Notice!  If you have a link to my old site (jaladrum.org), please update your webpage with this new and groovy url (mabjustmab.com).

This evening is the Burner Bazaar!  come on out and see what the freaks are peddling.
