Sounds like a blast, doesn't it?

And on Wednesday, April 29, there's also SF Boylesque's DAS KABARETT: RECESS-I$-ON! It's the fourth in their series of cabaret shows, and the last one was sold out! The show is at Mama Calizo's Voice Factory:

DAS KABARETT: RECESS-I$-ON!

We've spent the past month gathering street performers, darning our socks and over-generously tipping strippers in our endeavor to bring you the greatest value of any show. This month, you're sure to agree that it is. RECESS-I$-ON features over 20 performers concisely packed into a 90 minute spectacular. In fact, it's so big, we've added a second night! Besides bringing you many of your favorite familiar faces, next week you'll discover 9 new pieces of eye candy... er, I mean talented performers. 1 Man Banjo will aurally satisfy you throughout intermission. Act II brings with it the debut of the Barnaby Sisters. Truly Scrumptious is joined onstage by her sisters, SImply & Sasparilla for a number that is guaranteed to please.

In addition to the freely flowing wines, this month you're also invited to sample authentic moonshine, chunky mudcake and fresh ripened fruit salad. Still want more? Join us at 7:30 in our experiential 'bona-fide' Vagabond Arcade (aka the lobby). Here you're invited to dine upon tin can soup & dumpster bread while our own one-man beau, jangle-band, Paris accompanies with vocals, harmonica and accordion,

The best part of it all is that the evening also serves as a benefit for Food Not Bombs. Great show. Free wine. Free food. All done for a good cause, this evening's a tremendous value.

NOTE: No one under 18 years old will be admitted.
