FRIGID Nightcap Hosts Macabre Masquerade: A Halloween Variety Spectacular in the East Village

FRIGID New York is set to present its latest installment of FRIGID Nightcap, the East Village's weirdest and wildest late-night variety show. On Friday, October 25th at 10:30pm, Under St. Marks Theatre will transform into a haunted playground for "Macabre Masquerade," a Halloween-themed extravaganza.

FRIGID Nightcap: Macabre Masquerade promises an unforgettable night of entertainment that brings big Halloween energy to an intimate space.

"Get ready for the weirdest little Halloween party you've ever attended," says Gibbons-Brown. "It's like if 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' had a wild night out with 'The Addams Family'."

The lineup for the evening includes a diverse array of talent:

• Maggie McMuffin brings Cathy's spirit to life in a haunting rendition of "Wuthering Heights," complete with prop windows and ghostly wails.
• Kandi delivers a high-energy vampire burlesque that's sure to get your blood pumping.
• Tom Brennan tackles the grim reaper with wit and wisdom in his stand-up set, proving that laughter truly is the best medicine - even when facing the ultimate punchline.
• Tiffi Tornado slashes through conventions in their "Ghostface Neo-burlesque" act, set to the Arctic Monkeys' "Red Right Hand."
• Oliver Bliss brings Beetlejuice to life (or is it death?) in a hilarious draglesque performance featuring a parody of the musical's opening number.
• Samantha Echo channels a siren's call as a creepy mermaid, blending operatic prowess with unsettling allure.

Adding to the night's eerie atmosphere, femme-tastic performance collective The Strange Girlzz will be taking over the pre-show. Known for their mind-bending performances that blur the lines between art, theater, and the unexplainable, The Strange Girlzz promise an interactive and ominous prelude to the main event.

Gibbons-Brown will also be joined by guest co-host and Strange Girl Iman Abdul.

"Our goal with FRIGID Nightcap has always been to create a space where the unexpected thrives," adds Gibbons-Brown. "Macabre Masquerade is the perfect embodiment of that spirit - it's highbrow meets lowbrow, classic meets contemporary, all with a hefty dose of Halloween magic."

Audiences are encouraged to come in costume, as the show will feature a monster-themed dance break where attendees can join in the fun.

FRIGID Nightcap: Macabre Masquerade plays at Under St. Marks Theatre on Friday, October 25th at 10:30pm. Tickets are $15 and include a glass of wine. Livestream options are available for $10. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit bit.ly/FRIGIDNightcapTix
