Freakshow-A-Go-Go
it's happening tonight

Saturday, May 17, 2008

The twisted queer minds of Pants-Off Productions present Freakshow-a-Go-Go, a hilariously fun vaudeville/circus act featuring some of the hottest homos from PDX and beyond. THRILL to burly burlesque dancers! AMAZE to gender-bending drag queens 'n' kings! GASP at acro-balance artists! CRINGE at creepy clowns! Plus music, hula-hooping, bearded ladies, and freaks of all varieties! (Does that include straight people?) WSH Hippodrome, 315 SE 3rd, 8 pm, $10-15
