Red Light Café in Virginia-Highland hosts Monster Show for Monsters tonight, October 19, from 8 to 10:30 p.m. The premise is a delightfully strange one: a fictional world where the performers and audience are monsters, with comedy, storytelling, music, magic, drag and burlesque.
The organizer lists $15 advance admission, $20 at the door and $30 VIP. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the event is for ages 18 and up. The café is at 553-1 Amsterdam Avenue NE.
This is an especially good option if the goal is a memorable, weird date night instead of another familiar concert. Read the show description, decide whether its intentionally campy style appeals, and reserve ahead if it does.
