About this Event
Juicy Woo-Woo - The UFO Cabaret live @ Arterial
Get ready for a night of out-of-this-world performance at Arterial as thrilling saxman and acclaimed storyteller John Sobol tackles such provocative questions as who are they? and what do they want? with humour, imagination and more than a few cosmic surprises. This high-energy cabaret touches on everything from Apollo XI to the life and music of Sun Ra, from quantum physics to the Telepathy Tapes, and from intergalactic communication to the recent US Congressional hearings into secret space programs. Juicy Woo-Woo also features plenty of live music, including a spine-tingling saxophonic Pink Floyd cover!
Whether you’re a believer or an experiencer, a seeker or a skeptic, or just someone who likes to be entertained by great stories and kickass sax playing, Juicy Woo-Woo is the show for you.
3 nights only:
Thursday 8pm
Friday 8pm
Saturday 8pm & 11pm
