You, Me, and Astrology // Free Fringe Philly

Performer Nikki Hartung is bringing her show You, Me, and Astrology to Tattooed Mom as part of Free Fringe Philly!

8:30pm Show // FREE // 21+

Sometimes life events happen that make you want to understand yourself and the world around you on a deeper level… to make sense of the chaos that flows around us and within us… and sometimes, we just want to be entertained. Western horoscopes can be just that; Guidance, explanation & gosh darn fun. In this work in progress show, Nikki explores the 12 zodiac signs through characters, personal essay and song in the hopes of –like many 20 something, city-living millennials– understanding more of the world around her and herself. Mixed as well with some dance, real horoscopes and — a face mask?! #taurusbaby”

**Please note this show is a work in progress. Like our lives… so be kind :)**

Enjoy half price drafts before & during the event from 5-7pm and 10-11pm,

The Presented by Chris Davis

The Presented
​written & performed by Chris Davis
directed by Mary Tuomanen

The Presented explores what it means to be a chosen artist in the world today. In his signature comedic style, Davis examines the issues facing many theater artists today in a fun and hilarious 50-minute show that will make you never want to pursue a career in the arts ever again.

Reviews:
“Anyone who longs for a true Fringe experience — or who wants to spend some time with a naturally warm and engaging performer — should seek Davis out. A kind of Spalding Gray you’d want to grab a beer with at Dirty Franks, he occupies a space in the Philly theater ecosystem all his own.” ”
– Cameron Kelsall, Broad Street Review

“…an exuberant and irresistible Rumpelstiltskin who spins his own life’s straw into gold.”
– Kathryn Oselund, Phindie.com

Tickets available online and at the door.

GLI$TER: A Fringe Arts show

The Hum’n’bards are back for the 2017 Philadelphia Fringe Festival!

This year The Hum’n’bards have adapted the story of Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice and taken themes from Orwell’s Animal Farm to create a show inspired by Weimar-era cabaret, clowning, and street theatre: GLI$TER.

Join The Banker and his tribe of Sad American Clowns as they weave the story of Shylock, Portia, Antonio, and Bassanio, all struggling to find common ground in a world controlled by judgement and greed. Featuring original music by Anna Michael and Travis Fischbach and performances by Eric Jaffe, Christina Higgins, Anna Michael, Travis Fischbach, Jeremy Adam, Taylor Plunkett-Clements and Lexi Pozonsky, GLI$TER will transport you to a sexy, glitter-fueled world where The Banker always wins.

…but remember to come prepared to tip with small bills, because these clowns work for cash and an empty hat can stop the show!

TWO SHOWS!
Tuesday, September 12th & Sunday, September 17th!!
Doors at 7pm, show at 8pm.
