🤐 WATCH YOUR MOUTH. BEAT THE CLOCK. ⏰
Tucson’s longest running live comedy show returns Saturday, November 21 with You Don’t Say, our hilariously hyper game of forbidden words! Contestants have sixty seconds to get their teammates to guess four words and phrases without saying the four off-limit words that would make the answer obvious. Spoiler alert: they will say them. 😬

Host Chatty Kathee and executive “assistant” Swish Manley welcome celebrity guests the fabulous (and fabulously self-aware... not) influencer Parker 💅 and the wonderfully alien Nelmar 27 McGee for a night of blurted answers and spectacular slip-ups. 🎤

🗓️ Saturday, November 21
📍 191 Toole
🍸 Doors & cocktail hour: 6pm
🎭 Show: 7pm
🎟️ Tickets at GoldenGravy.com, the Rialto Theatre box office, or at the door.
🚗 Ample FREE parking right next to the venue.

🔺 The $9.95 Pyramid came, it saw, and it went completely off the rails. 😂

Chatty Kathee and Swish Manley ran the show (loosely), while celebrity guests Nelmar 27 McGee and Fulta Burstyn proved that panic, fast talking, and forbidden words are a magical combination. Our contestants thought fast, then thought faster, then said the one word they absolutely weren't supposed to say. 🎤

Our Round 1 winner went home with the BJ Collection: framed, autographed (but never authenticated) photos of B.J. Thomas, Lady B.J. Crosby, and Bartles & Jaymes. 🖼️ Round 2's lucky champ landed a brand new career, complete with a party hat, a noisemaker, and a unicycle. 🎪 We wish them the best of luck in their new field.

Thanks to everyone who came out to play along. You're the reason we get to do this! 💛

🎭 Up next: Battle Mimes this Saturday, October 10, with guest host Fulta Burstyn and celebrity guests Bob and Bobbi Bickerson. Silent but deadly. See you at 191 Toole!

Come possessed, come fabulous, come both. 👻✨

Tucson, brace your wigs. 👻🎃

Fulta & Friends present GHOULS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN – a q***r Halloween cabaret so unhinged and glittery, this city has genuinely never seen anything like it. Hosts Fulta Burstyn & Robin Bousel are summoning their most fabulous fiends: dancer Na-il Ali Emmert, burlesque menace Irma Gherd, astonishing aerial artists of The Midnight Coven, piano powerhouse Chris Tackett, and human pretzel Sarah Llewellyn (she sings, she dances, she contorts – we don't ask questions).

Wednesday, October 28 · 7:30pm · La Rosa
Tickets at GoldenGravy.com
Come in costume. Come possessed. Just come. 🕸️

🎭 SILENT BUT DEADLY 🎭

Tucson's longest running live comedy show returns Saturday, October 10 with Battle Mimes – our gloriously undignified take on charades, played entirely behind oversized (and slightly unsettling) mime masks!

And this episode is extra special: our own grande dame, the legendary Fulta Burstyn, is stepping in as GUEST HOST for the night! 👑 Executive "assistant" Swish Manley will be right there to (barely) help her run the show.

Joining them are celebrity guests Bob and Bobbi Bickerson – a Midwest couple who've been married way too long and are way too polite to admit it. Watch decades of passive-aggressive marital bliss play out on our stage. 😬

🗓️ Saturday, October 10
📍 191 Toole
🍸 Doors & cocktail hour: 6pm
🎭 Show: 7pm
🎟️ Tickets at GoldenGravy.com, the Rialto Theatre box office, or at the door.
🚗 FREE parking right next to the venue.
