The Planks have worked with Team Satan in the past — in addition to the Hallowe’en show we can likely never tell you about, last year’s Valentine’s Day event granted us a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join both Burcu of Something About Reptiles AND host Ana Bon-bon in a rousing rendition of Bosvermisim Dünyaya. This year, we’ve been diligently practicing to offer up a whole course of further special Planks features for an evening themed around the secret code designating especially lewd cabaret performances. (Despite all this, I fear we still have an opening for un Pétomane. That’s probably green-letter.)

Of course, there’s a host of other worthwhile talent on the bill: Master of Ceremonies Speechless will set the stage for BYO, the East Side Boys, Dolly the Dollar Store Clown, Blunder the Knife, Laura Boo (the silent underwriter of so many of the Planks’ 2007 successes), Gina Gash, Blue Q, and DJs Borscht Belt Karnaval, Ghost Taco and Brutal Village. The show opens at 10 pm and runs until L.A.T.E. (so late that even People’s Prom attendees can take in both shows!) though the Planks will likely be on relatively early — also due to limited capacity in the Secret Location (I can’t tell you here in public: It’s A Secret!) for assured admission you are recommended to turn up early.

Sooner or later, everyone gets to sell out, but you should only be so lucky as to get a chance to make a deal with this Devil.
