I'm very pleased to announce that I'm getting into the remote performing craze.This Saturday, from 3 pm to 9 pm (Chicago time), I and 8 other performers are creating a "Virtual Vaudeville" show that will feature 6 hours of continuous entertainment from some of the top vaudeville and variety artists in the country.
The show will take place on Instagram Live on the account phonographdjmac.
You can find out more about it on the following facebook event:

Over the course of the 6 hours, each performer will do a show or piece of their show at least 3 times.
UPDATE: I will be on at 3:50 pm, 5:50 pm, and 7:50 pm. All times CST. Tune in a little before that to make sure to catch the whole flea circus act.
Viewing is free, but we are asking for donations that will be split equally with all of the performers.
In addition to my show, the performers include some of the best in the business, including:

- Professor A.G. Gertsacov - Acme Miniature Flea Circus
- Alex Vernon & Sarah Olmsted Thomas – Puppeteers
- Mark Jaster & Sabrina Selma Mandell - Dizz & Izzy
- DJ Phonograph Mac- MC and DJ
- Gin Minsky– The Tapdancing Sword Swallowing Delight
- Keith Bindlestiff – Top Spinning Extraordinaire
- Peter Mintun – 1920s Keyboard Capers
- Andy Sapora– Variety Performer/ Clown
I've seen and worked with a few of these people before, and they are great. And what I've seen from the other performers shows that they will also be a lot of fun.
I've got a few technical issues to solve, like where in my relatively crowded apartment I'm going to perform the show, and whether or not I have enough lighting for it, and how I'm going to adapt my heavily audience-involved show happen without being able to see the audience!
All solvable and all worth the challenge.
I look forward to you seeing me (and the fleas!) and my friends on Saturday!
