She says hi.
Beautiful Night & Loser Lion Party Bus
We’re bringing our double-bill to Edinburgh. Jackie Skinner and Kym Priess take you on two very different rides of your life in one hour.
A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT is one dumb-dumb's journey to making the most beautiful night. Music, intrigue, you, Long DressTM, and you…what could be more beautiful? An absurd, playful (and some would say heroic) attempt at beauty and connection. Watch a human with little to no volume control attempt a nearly silent and beautiful show: a recipe for disaster, but also a recipe for laughing. Every show is different* because every audience is different, and more beautiful than the next. (*except for Long DressTM, Long DressTM will not change show to show.)
Performed by Jackie Skinner, a Bostonian/American who’s performed her comedic solo work in comedy festivals and venues all over the USA (most recently at Austin Sketchfest + Chicago Sketchfest). This is her first non-US performance, talk to her! She is trying to make friends! www.jackieskinner.com
THE LOSER LION PARTY BUS Get ready to party on this rowdy, bawdy, clown synth-rock ride into absurdity led by failed Vegas wrestler, Jerry. “Put ‘em up, put ‘em up, put ‘em up,” rhythmically roars Loser Lion, against a HEAVY dance beat. Don’t be afraid of Jerry in his Cowardly Lion wig & beard, bloody fake muscle chest, blacked-out teeth and tiny red bottoms with ripped fur & brown tights…He just wants your love.
A positively in-your-face, playfully dark, immersive, deranged character burlesque rock concert that ponders dreams, failure, growing older, expectations, self-improvement, tenderness and how we show up in the world. Like Dali, PeeWee + Elvira with a dash of Rocky Horror + Peaches frolicking on acid.
Brought to you by Kym Priess, a comedic performance artist , rock musician and leader of STUNTDRIVER, the adventure rock spectacle. She was born in Austin, lives in LA, actually drives cars in movies but prefers tubing down a river above all else.
