A steampunk collaboration of prohibitionistic proportions that sneaks you into a world of slapstick, stand-up, and vaudeville. Follow Jersey's finest speakeasy hoodlum and her curmudgeonly ex-con husband as they stay one step ahead of the cops, while backing up their escapades with instrumentation including accordion, ukulele, clarinet, spoons, and trumpet.

Delightful! Funny, silly, non-stop and full of romping joy. The music is super and the jokes are a blur of good bad taste. I just wish it was longer; I was just settling in for the ride when it started to pull in at the station.

Literally ran from the Red Room to catch this show and it was SO WORTH IT. This show is hilarious, raunchy, and unexpectedly Russian. Up until tonight I never knew that dildos could be used as drum sticks. I'm so glad I know that now. Also, best cover of Miserlou ever. Go see this!
