The Russian Roulette Variety Show is having our final Philly based dress rehearsal on Saturday, June 23rd. Guess what? You’re all invited! Its going to be a fundraising dress rehearsal, to help pay the cost for fuel and fire insurance and other wonderful but expensive things the whole group needs to make the show go on. The dress rehearsal is being held at the basketball courts at the corner of Tilton St. and E. Sergeant St in Fishtown (map) and is currently scheduled to run from around to start at 8pm (suggested to show up around 7:45pm) Donations welcome and much appreciated!

Lux Arati will be performing, as will the lovely Penny Treats and always show-stopping Iconic Fire. Plus lots of other acts. Here’s the official write-up:

The Russian Roulette Variety Show will debut once again at PEX Summer Festival 2012! Please join us for our newest tantalizing showcase of the hottest, most enticing performances set to our very own MC of the hour, Mr. Michael Nighttime.
