Those Freaking Weirdos are back at Strangeways Brewing this month with a better way to celebrate St. Patty’s Day.

Those Freaking Weirdos are back at Strangeways Brewing this month with a better way to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. If block parties are starting to seem a bit old hat, why not head down to Strangeways and see some hats (and a lot of other items of clothing) come off? Moxie LaBouche, Dante The Inferno, Melody Magpie, and Dev L. Ish will be up to their old tricks, which they’ve been showing off monthly to an appreciative and steadily growing audience at Strangeways for a while now. And this month, their special guest is burlesque renaissance man Paco Fish, who comes to us from Baltimore with his multi-faceted, humorous take on burlesque performance. He’s been awarded the titles “King Of The Carolina Sweet Tease” and “King Of Southern Exposure,” and was voted one of the top 10 male burlesque performers in the world by 21st Century Burlesque–so you can be sure he’ll keep you entertained when he takes the stage at Strangeways! With nudie newbie Laurette LaRoo and stage kitten Nefaria Deeds rounding out the cast for this month, it’s clear that the only place to quaff a high quality craft beer (or two) on the Friday before St. Patrick’s Day this year is Brews & Burlesque at Strangeways Brewing!

WHAT: Those Freaking Weirdos Present Brews & Burlesque, St. Patty’s Day Edition!
WHERE: Strangeways Brewing, 2277A Dabney Rd
WHEN: Friday, March 14, 9 PM
ADMISSION: $8 in advance/$10 at the door–order advance tickets HERE

Tickets to this event have been selling faster and faster every month, and space is limited, so you better order ASAP! But of course, there is another alternative–your friends at RVA Mag have a pair of tickets to give away to one lucky reader, and it could be you! Just plug your info into that little Punchtab box below this paragraph, and look for extra chances to win. Enter by Monday at 5 PM, for that is when the giveaway will close and we will pick a winner!

Review | Oscar Wilde Still Knows Exactly Who We Are

The Importance of Being Ernest has been on my radar since I was 13, when my beloved Morrissey mentioned Oscar Wilde in an interview. (Mind you, this was long before Morrissey’s far-right weirdo rants.) As a massive fan of the arch, wry, witty lyrics of the Smiths and...

Review | Little Bear Ridge Road is an Artistic Gut Punch

Little Bear Ridge Road, does something you rarely see in popular media these days. It reminisces on the period during and just after Covid. Somehow, collectively, we’ve silently agreed to just not talk about it anymore. We don’t want to relive it on TV, in books, or...

Can Firehouse Put Richmond on the National Theatre Map?

Everything We Did Was A Bad Idea
