"Vaudeville like you've never tasted it!"-
If you've ever wondered what Vaudeville tastes like, wonder no more. The Slomski Brothers are coming to town, and they always know what to do. Both Mark Slomski and Phil Slomski started performing at an early age, but it wasn't until Mama Slomski insisted they hit the road with the family luggage, Trunk Slomski, did they realize their dream: to bring laughter and the Slomski name to the entire world. Using an inherited ukulele and a pan forged from a moonshine still, the Slomski Brothers aim to sell their special brand of music, including a hint of comedy, juggling and slapstick, to anyone with time to spare. They have traveled the country over honing their skills as purveyors of fine goods and services. It's not a show you'll want to miss, and it's not one you'll forget anytime soon. www.slomskibrothers.com


& Don't miss Randi Warhol performing sensational Burlesque. Miss Randi Warhol is a Philadelphia-based burlesque dancer and artist. Going on 4 years as a staple for the troupe Revival Burlesque, Warhol has also shaken her tassels with the lit-pop boys of The Absinthe Drinkers, and Burlesque Freakout in Amsterdam.

The other is the ability to walk on broken glass and hammer spikes into her face. Mab is a freak. You probably shouldn’t try that at home and just come out to see her.

It's time to grab a Zima and your Beanie Babies and settle in for a rockin' night at the Peach Pit After Dark--with more nudity then you remember!
