Help Save The Slipper Room

New York City’s Palace of Variety is in danger of succumbing to the coronavirus pandemic. Thrilling audiences with their brand of bawdy and jaw-dropping live entertainment for over 20 years, The Slipper Room is a family run theater struggling to stay afloat, paying rent, utilities, insurance and other costs while it’s doors must remain closed due to the coronavirus.

This week’s Momotaro Radio show is my Slipper Room-themed dedication to this NY funhouse where the obscene is normal and the normal is obscene. Support live entertainment!
