YONAH x Maddie Pizzarelli x Sofia Garcia live at The Parkside Lounge (Presented by Smooch O´Clock)

Smooch O´Clock, an installation celebration of the indie singer-songwriters who love to love, sound so so good doing it, and that want you to have a beautiful silly time. YONAH, Maddie Pizzarelli, & Sofia Garcia will take the stage at The Parkside Lounge for its first iteration with you there<3 Smooch!:

Yonah Nissim Taragin. 21 years. I love my family. Avocado. Guitars. Mountains. I am scared of being alone. Cockroaches. Anger with no resolve. Failure. I am hungry for meaning. I treasure you. Thank you.

Maddie Pizzarelli is a New York City-based singer/songwriter and guitarist. Maddie Pizzarelli is also a diner fixture, alternate guitar tuning advocate, bodacious cowboy, prosciutto consumer, obsessive playlister, snarky diarist, 2007’s “Most Enthusiastic at Day Camp” winner, and interminable list maker. Inspired by the lyrical depth of Joni Mitchell, the rhythmic vitality of Mumford & Sons, and the brazen emotionality of Alanis Morissette, her songs explore coming of age, relationships, and feminine angst through her introspective lyrics and muscular acoustic guitar playing.

Sofia Garcia is a NYC based Colombian-American Singer-Songwriter, taking her indie-folk songs of love, life, and learning to you. She is getting ready to release her first single off of her debut EP, but only you get to know that because you’re reading this bio! More than anything she hopes you come to the show a stranger and that you leave a friend <3 lovU!

SLOTH: Live Queer Storytelling

 

When threatened, they will fight, and it will be cute. Tell us your story about overcoming an unexpected circumstance. Have you ever confronted reality head-on? How did you find a way through it all? Or did you manage to have a really *really* good time despite life throwing hammers at you? Sharers and listeners are all welcome! No story is required to come and enjoy the scene. To sustain our work and venue, there is a $12 entry fee, but we will turn no one away for a lack of funds.
On the fence about telling a story? We're here to help you develop it for primetime! Reach out to one of our gracious and beautiful hosts to brainstorm and refine. We'd love to get a glimpse of your inner worlds.

- Tyler & Mike

What are SLOTH events?

Jack’S Bean Stalked: a Raunchy Holiday Panto

Jack’s Bean Stalked

Need a little filth with your fairy tale? 

Dive into Jack’s Bean Stalked, a deliciously twisted, unapologetically queer take on the classic tale!

With echoes of Baby Reindeer's unsettling obsession and the seductive edge of Saltburn, this outrageous re-imagining follows Jack and a razor-sharp drag queen as they face off against a giant—and a very hands-on beanstalk that's more stalker than stalk. With biting political satire, raunchy humor, and pop culture parodies aplenty, this panto pushes boundaries and buttons in equal measure.

Bold and bawdy, the pantomime, or panto, has been a tradition in Great Britain since 1717 and is usually performed throughout the holiday season. With its roots in commedia dell’arte, the genre takes classic fairy tales and imbues them with a broad and comedic twist. While pantos are traditionally considered family-friendly entertainment, Jack’s Bean Stalked is strictly for the grown-ups! TL;DR- If you enjoyed the smart stupidity of Titanique, The Big Gay Jamboree or Oh, Mary! -you’ll be laughing all night long!  

Featuring:
Matt Mastromatteo as Lady Chicken Cutlet
Lily Ali-Oshatz
Gabriel Spector
Regan Sims
Elizabeth Wright-Williams
Rachel McPhee
Robert K. Benson
Mark Galinovsky

TICKETS: EARLY - $20 / ADVANCED - $35 / DOOR - $40
