In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.

You were here for the burlesque show that started it all, “X”,  and stuck around for our prequel, “Pearl”, now the producers of both bring you “MaXXXine.” Take a trip with us to the seedy streets of 80s LA as Maxine tries to go legit. The Night Stalker is on the prowl and so is a sinister presence from Maxine’s past.

Do you ever feel that sometimes you and your loved ones, coworkers and clients don't speak the same language? Do you ever feel like you are often misunderstood? What if there were a tool that decoded the reasons behind your conflicts? The Enneagram personality system is a tool that allows us to see ourselves and others through the core motivations that drive us. An understanding of these core motivational patterns reveals how different personality types fall into and approach conflict. Understanding the different types and the core motivations that drive them is useful in resolving conflicts and miscommunications.  This tool is also very useful in understanding ourselves, our motivations and our role in creating more harmonious relations with the other people that we encounter in our daily lives, both personally and professionally.

Program Agenda:  1. What is Personality?

                                       2. What is the Enneagram Personality System?

                                       3. How the System Works and the Nine Personality                   Types.

                4. Self Awareness and Conflict.

                                       5. The Types under Stress.

                                       6. The Three Rules of Conflict Resolution.

                                       7. Takeaways and Review.

About this event

Arts • Comedy

(Each show runs approximately 80 minutes.)

The Naked Comedy Show is exactly what it sounds like. Yes, actually! Top Philadelphia comedians with no bottoms.

The first show runs 7-8:20. Doors open at 6 for early drinks. The second show runs 9-10:20. Doors open at 8:40, and the bar will stay open after the show for those who wish to mingle. This event is 21+.

There are two different line-ups at the 7pm and 9pm shows, each with five or six comics plus the host, Billy Procida. This won't be a bunch of wacky exhibitionist open mikers — these are some of Philadelphia's funniest!

Not-Fun-But-Important-Disclaimers

**Audience members' phones will not be allowed out during the show. Strictly enforced.**

***All refund requests will be granted up to 24 hrs before the event. If you want to switch to the other show in a night or use your tickets for a different date, message the organizer in advance to make that change for no additional cost.***

The safety and comfort of our performers and guests is our top priority. Please do not approach comics or contact them online with sexual language or a suggestive tone. The best compliment you can say is: "You were so funny." If you're 'excited' to see comedians naked, that's okay! Just keep that thought to yourself in your head where it doesn't hurt anyone. You don't want to hurt someone, right? And if you're excited to see a naked comedy show, hey, this note isn't even for you. You're going to have such a fun night!

THE WAIT IS OVER!!

Get your 🍑 in the comfy lounge chairs (now!) The unstoppable Coachman Soul Train are ready to take off on Friday OCT 10th!

The Waterfront Journals by David Wojnarowicz

Step into the raw, poetic universe of The Waterfront Journals by David Wojnarowicz. Stories plucked from street corners and late-night diners blend haunting confessions and gritty lyricism. Journey through the forgotten landscapes of America's fringes—encountering hustlers, dreamers, and survivors—that David navigated in the 1970's and 1980's. Their stories weave a tapestry of desperation, resilience, and longing. Directed and produced by RJ and Rachel Rushmore, The Waterfront Journals by David Wojnarowicz is a profound exploration of those who exist at the edges, told with honesty, urgency, and humanity. This production adapts a selection of monologues from Wojnarowicz's book of the same name, bringing them to the stage in the United States for the first time in decades. 21+ venue. Doors at 7pm, performances at 8pm.

Join us before the September 14 performance for an opportunity to meet Alan Barrows of Civilian Warfare Gallery, one of the spaces that launched David’s art career.

Lifelong Mormon housewife turned standup comedian, Leah Renee gets so many questions about her former faith so she made this show for anyone who loved Book of Mormon musical and is ready for a second helping of silly songs, raucous music and deep cut Mormon trivia traditionally only found in the darkest corners of the ex-Mo subreddit.

Put on your magic underwear and come for the silliest hour about Mormonism at Fringe. We'll let you in the doors even if you drink coffee and don't pay your tithing.
