HOT FIX SIDE SHOW-TRAVELING TO PHILLY!
HOT FIX IS COMING
FOR YOU
Straight from New York’s underground sideshow scene, Hot Fix Sideshow storms into Philadelphia for one night only at Velvet Whip Philadelphia on Saturday, August 22 at 8:30PM. Featuring a rotating cast of daring performers including Cyclone Jack Sullivan, Kita St. Cyr, Maggie McMuffin, The Trickster Bruises, and Queensiñera, Hot Fix has built a reputation for blending classic sideshow spectacle with modern theatrical chaos — from fire performance and sword swallowing to dark cabaret energy and punk-circus mayhem.
As part of their 2026 touring run, the troupe is traveling from New York specifically to bring their wild, immersive brand of sideshow to the Velvet Whip stage for a late-night Philly takeover. Expect danger, glamour, absurdity, audience interaction, and the kind of underground performance art you don’t stumble across twice. If you’ve been waiting for a night that feels equal parts carnival fever dream, downtown cabaret, and outlaw theater — this is it.

ALL GIRLS PJ JAM NIGHT! (FOLLOWED BY PJ DANCE PARTY)
All Girls Jam Session: Jammy Jam
takes over Velvet Whip on Friday, May 8 at 8:30 PM—an intimate, high-vibe night spotlighting powerhouse women across genres. Expect a fluid, genre-blurring session where jazz, soul, R&B, and experimental sounds collide in real time. This isn’t a static set—it’s a living, breathing jam led by dynamic female artists who bring both precision and spontaneity to the stage.
From deep grooves to electrifying improvisation, Jammy Jam is about community, expression, and letting the music stretch past its edges. Whether you’re posted with a cocktail or leaning into the front row, the energy stays close, warm, and unapologetically alive.
Then at 11 PM, the night flips.
The room melts into the Jammy Jam Dance Party (11 PM – 1 AM)—a late-night release built on feel-good nostalgia, slow jams, hip-hop classics, and unexpected cuts. Think house party energy meets Velvet Whip sensuality: dim lights, deep bass, and a crowd that came to move. DJs keep it seamless, bridging eras and moods so you never quite leave the rhythm.
