Crab Cakes: A Cancerian Variety Show

The crustacean of the zodiac, Cancers, are known for being dramatic, expressive, creative, comical and passionate.

On the flip side, these crabs can be moody, snarky, and stubborn.

Oddly enough, there is a veritable crab rave of drag, burlesque, modern dance and clown performers in Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington.

After last year’s Crab Cakes cancerian variety show, we decided to expand the show into a three night, three city production, highlighting the Cancerian performers in each incredible city, with performances by:

Guad ala Jara (Cincinnati, OH)

Billie Bordeaux (Lexington, KY)

Ophelia Filth (Louisville, KY)

Johnny Justice (Dayton, OH)

Aubvious (Louisville, KY)

Donna Toy (Lexington, KY)

Andro Hathaway (Cincinnati, OH)

Tigresse Bleu (Louisville, KY)

Anita Therapist (Louisville, KY)

Artemisia de la Miel (Louisville, KY)

Featuring crabby performers from BurLex, The Bizarre Bazaar, the Smoke and Queers and more, no two shows are the same.
