The eternally puckish actor Alan Cumming and promoter-provocateur Daniel Nardicio took over the former Eastern Bloc bar in 2017 and remade it as a cabaret, comedy and party hub that evokes the golden era of NYC downtown nightlife. A cheeky-decadent quasi-queer hangout with a frisky, welcoming vibe, the place is an oasis of creativity and community that draws from traditions of the past but is resolutely planted in the present. Now it is venturing into the digital realm with a pair of variety shows hosted by Cumming and packed with downtown talents. Originally streamed live, the two shows are now being rerun as a $10 double feature. The first part, which begins at 7pm, features Kim David Smith, Alexis Michelle and Brandon James Gwinn, Michael Musto, Willy Dee, Poison Ivory, Catherine Cohen, Seth Sikes, Richard Cortez and Louie Leager, Princess Brittany, Angela Di Carlo and Drew Brody, Bright Light Bright Light, Jasmine Rice Labeija and Greko. The second, which starts at 8pm, features James Tison, Antony Cherrie, Lauren Ordair, Catherine Cohen, Willie Dee on the street, Poison Ivory, Judy Gold, Jill Sobule, Ellia J Garlands, Drew Brody, Velvetina, Xavier McNight, Avionce Hoyles and a message from Dina Martina.
