The Castro may be closed again this Halloween, but saints and sinners alike will converge at the historic Swedish American Hall above Cafe du Nord on October 29 for Tingel Tangel Club: Sex, Magic and the Occult featuring the one and only Penny Arcade. Drawing on the pagan aspects of Halloween and the Celtic samhain, we celebrate our ancestors and the change of seasons in this night of performance and revelry. The festivities are co-hosted by San Francisco's beloved comic and theater artist Marga Gomez and Charlie Horse doyenne and Miss Trannyshack 2004 Anna Conda. The star-studded lineup includes singer/songwriter Holcombe Waller, moody cabaret artist Vinsantos, burlesque darling Kitten on the Keys, the rock and roll stylings of the dragulous Ethel Merman, harpist Deirdre Eagan and Sophisticated Boom Boom the Dead or Alive tribute duo. Special appearances by The Diamond Daggers and SF Boylesque punctuate the evening which kicks off with DJ Nature Boy (Babies on Fire) and concludes with closing set by DJ Sunevil (Erotic Exotic Ball).

* BRAVA Theater receives a portion of proceeds from this event as a charitable contribution.

When I went to Tingel Tangel at the Bubble Lounge, there was a lot of dancing, so take your dancing shoes and prepare to be a dancing fool! The burlesque acts were interspersed with lots of music and dancing, so it's quite the freaky experience!
