Lovefool
2022-12-11 19:00 - 22:00
LOVE: you’ve heard of it? You knew it was kinda gay, but you just WAIT till big queer lovefool Michael John Ciszewski gets his limp wrists on it!
Join him on an absolute ROMP through flings and flirtations, from first love to forever, as he ritually reassembles the pieces of his heart in a silly, romantic reclamation of heartbreak.
An hour that bridges stand-up comedy and confessional, Lovefool brims with heart and humor, and makes a starry-eyed argument for falling head-over-heels through life.
After a sold-out Work in Progress performance at Jersey City Theater Center in June 2022, Lovefool returns to the stage in December 2022, featuring an exhilarating 30% brand new material!
“So much heart, so much humor, so much silliness and queerness…you simply must see it!” – Coleman Spilde, entertainment critic

Despite the three dates, these shows are still in the Smoke & Shadows tradition of one-night-only casts & curation never to be repeated again. Reserve your seats early!

Union Comedy is back with The Kerfuffle!
Come check out one of the most storied independent comedy shows at The Rockwell in Somerville (formerly The Davis Square Theatre). The Kerfuffle came from the imaginations of Jackie Arko, Hannah Foell, and Casey Malone—and it’s the blind-booked vaudeville variety show de jour. It features a mix of sketch, interactive, and completely undefinable comedy.

Clifford, Dead Gowns, and Sweet Petunia!
2023-01-29 20:00 - 22:30
Clifford the band are burger music.
Dead Gowns is the project of Portland-Maine singer-songwriter Geneviève Beaudoin. In her latest collection, the HOW EP, she pushes “expressive arrangements and raw melodies into a glowing spectacle” (Foxy Digitalis). Both urgent and sincere, it’s “the sound of a songwriter coming good on all her promises and then some” (For the Rabbits).
Listening to queer freak folk duo Sweet Petunia for the first time, many are blown away by the interchanging vocal lines of Madison Simpson & Mairead Guy. Unbelievably, the two are not related, though their voices are almost indistinguishable from each other. These brother harmonies lead Sweet Petunia through many shifting genres, melding traditional folk sensibilities with a distinct punk flare.
