In these troubled and uncertain times there's nothing better than curing your raging ADD with all your favorite spooky songs and laffs galore with ADD *COBWEB* Cabaret. Hail Satan! ADD Cabaret is a hilarious evening of short original songs jimmy-jacked together for a speed round of fun, which has been entertaining and offending audiences for over 5 years now.

Judy Gold's "Vote Dammit!" (Monday, November 2nd at 9:00 PM) will take to Club Cumming stage on Election Eve to give us part rally cry, part catharsis, and of course lots of much-needed laughter.
