Boston in 12 Massacres Part IV

The Grand Finale of a four part, darkly humorous examination of how f***ed up Boston’s history can be, and how we used to just end each other’s lives all the time. Presented on December 15th, Part Four of Boston in 12 Massacres tells the stories of the terror caused by the so-called Boston Strangler in the 1960s, the little-known Memorial Day Massacre of 1985, and the horrific (and fairly recent) 1991 Chinatown Massacre, also called the “Toothless Wah” Murders. Local Storyteller and social media historian Daniel Berger-Jones recounts a scintillating, shocking, and irreverent narrative of the facts and then discusses them with a panel of local comedians, personalities, and performers. Audience members will have the opportunity to compete against the panel for $2 scratch lotto ticket prizes, or to sit passively and drink while being horrified and amused in an evening of history, ridicule, ribald toasts, drinking games, singing, and romping good times. All of this while discussing morbid violence, so if you’re easily offended, or a small and sensitive child, this show is not for you. This performance runs approximately 75 minutes.
