Cabaret connoisseurs the Bearded Ladies return with another platter of deliciously dangerous, sensationally sweet, and provocatively pleasurable Late Night Snacks. Running throughout the Fringe Festival in a refitted East Passyunk industrial space, these after-hours performances feature different artists every night—from opera singers to drag queens, cabaret stars to art clowns, and everything in between.

About the Arists

The Bandits‘ music is both a raucous celebration and a call to arms. Since 2014 the Bandits have been channeling anti-capitalist, feminist punk rage and joy. The Bandits are a theatrical punk band whose tunes herald the coming ecofeminist revolution. Born from the 2014 Riot Grrl fantasia We Are Bandits by Applied Mechanics, the Bandits have since made such radical mischief as opening for Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova, and playing Philly Democratic Socialists’ Rock Against Fascism.
