Holy CRAP!

Just found out that Circusfaerie aka Toy Surprise (Bah, registration req'd) is doing a show with Margaret Cho at CIA (warning: sound) tomorrow night!

Friday, Jan. 20
THE ART OF BLEEDING PRESENTS
THE POISON SHOW

Featuring ABRAM THE SAFETY APE
RT THE ROBOT TEACHER, DR. MOODY

Special opening acts by MARGARET CHO
SATANICA, JEWEL OF DENIAL, & TOY SURPRISE.

From the lethal sting of exotic insects to the humble asphyxia produced by household cleaners, the topic of accidental poisoning will be lovingly addressed in tonight's all-new evening-long one-night cavalcade of bickering puppets, indecently attired nurses, scratchy classroom films, absurd props, soiled costumes, and pedagogical burlesque otherwise known as The Art of Bleeding. Tonight, ABRAM THE SAFETY APE grapples with core issues of his professional identity, RT the ROBOT TEACHER tries his hand at playwriting, and DR. MOODY explores the psychic marshlands of True Safety Consciousness... ALL while providing invaluable information on poisoning emergencies!

Augmenting tonight's lessons will be carefully choreographed poisoning scenarios by: Legendary comedian and accomplished belly dance diva MARGARET CHO shimmying her way through toxicological exotica, infernal stripteuse SATANICA shaking her stinger in a cautionary dance of entomological envenomation, burlesque dancer JEWEL OF DENIAL presenting a working girl's tale of glamour, popcorn, and poisons, and contortionist TOY SURPRISE & Dadaist dandy PAUL "K" enacting a sad fable of a gothic Goldilocks and naturally occurring toxins.

EMERGENCY ROOM ATTIRE (Patient or Staff) HIGHLY ENCOURAGED!
At CIA(California Institute of Abnormal Arts)
11334 Burbank Blvd, North Hollywood

For those new to tonight's venue, please note that even without a performance by Art of Bleeding, CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF ABNORMAL ARTS, is must-see for any connoisseur of the bizarre. Much more than a performance space it's a "mini-Smithsonian" of sideshow ephemera including,a dead fairy, the severed arm of a French nobleman,the head of Bigfoot, and more! With all those collections, there's not much room for a stage or seats, so COME EARLY to ensure your space. And CIA has also somehow managed to squeeze a liquor license into the deal as of the last few months.

Tickets: $10.

Doors: 9 pm, Opening acts -10ish, Abram & Crew- 11ish.
