πŸ”Ί The $9.95 Pyramid came, it saw, and it went completely off the rails. πŸ˜‚

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. πŸ–ΌοΈ Round 2's lucky champ landed a brand new career, complete with a party hat, a noisemaker, and a unicycle. πŸŽͺ 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! πŸ’›

🎭 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. πŸ‘»βœ¨

Tucson, brace your wigs. πŸ‘»πŸŽƒ

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).

🎭 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! πŸ‘‘ 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. 😬

🎨 August's Win, Lose or Draw Badly is officially in the books, and the evidence is... concerning. πŸ˜…

Chatty Kathee and Swish Manley were on point, Dharma Davenport and Parker were on brand, our contestants were on something, and the drawings were exactly as advertised – questionable. Our round one winner walked away with a collection of creepy clown dolls (congrats?), and round two sent someone home with the full Adventure Footwear Collection: snow shoes, swim fins, and wooden clogs. Prepared for absolutely no weather condition, but we admire the confidence.

Huge thanks to everyone who braved Tucson's summer heat to pack the house – you made it a night to remember (and possibly a few to forget).

πŸ”Ί Up next: The $9.95 Pyramid hits the stage TOMORROW, Saturday, September 5! Think faster. No, faster than that.
