Art in Odd Places (AiOP), New York City’s annual public art and performance festival, presents a carnival infused fundraiser, SIDESHOW on Tuesday, June 22,  7-10pm at TheaterLab located at 137 W 14th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. Admission is only $5.

Featured bands are Dinosaur Feathers and Egemen Sanli & Friends.  Other performers include the infamous The High Line Park Renegade Cabaret featuring a huge cast of chanteuses and musicians appearing on the fire escape of TheaterLab and as buskers inside the three floors of mayhem.

But that’s not all folks! Delight to the forbidden dances of Minnie Tonka and Etta-May Freeway. Run screaming from the building after experiencing the horror of Miss Take – nature gone horribly wrong. Marvel at sword swallower and fire-eater, The Lady ‘Aye”. Wonder ‘how is that possible’ as you take in the freakiness of the bacKspace freaKsters: Krystal Something Something, Charmin Ultra, Mary Jo Camel Toe, Lil’ Kimchi, Whiskey Dixie, and The Duchess. Try not to look away as Insect Exotica LuLu LoLo spreads her wings. Don’t forget there’s also crocheted modern day freak, Olek. Owners of the sideshow, Admiral Erathamus Longchamp and his ‘current’ love interest Galixa Uranus  (half avatar, half-baked) will also present an exhibit of ‘Freaks in Jars’, giant human puff balls- The Poofs, a pig race, fortunate tellers, world’s largest pickle, games of chance, and lots of prizes. Visit www.artinoddplaces.org for more information.
