Dumbolio is a monthly variety show featuring a headline musical act and four supporting acts created, curated, and hosted by Ed Schmidt-the mastermind behind The Last Supper, his one-man show that ran for nearly two years in his Brooklyn kitchen and dining room. The second installment of Dumbolio will launch on Saturday, March 10, 2007, at the powerHouse Arena.
The musical headliner will be Taylor Mac, fresh off an international tour and a sold-out performance at the Public Theater, as part of the Under the Radar Festival. A ukelele-strumming pastiche drag singer-songwriter, he manages to be campy and honest, ironic and vulnerable, uproarious and heartbreaking. Taylor Mac is a true original. Thomas L. Bolster, a Corporate Motivational Speaker whose rabble-rousing speeches are, depending on which way you tilt your head, either life-changingly inspiring or utter gibberish. Scotty the Blue Bunny, a magician, comedian, and violin virtuoso who just happens to perform in high heels and a full-body blue lycra bunny suit. NakedGuyNYC, a photographer who takes naked pictures of himself in public places. He will orchestrate a self-portrait with the Dumbolio audience as backdrop/participants. Marina Pavlutskaya, a self-portrait painter, whose work is direct, unflinching, and emotionally raw. A food and drinks concession will be provided by Rice, a superb DUMBO restaurant.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at www.powerhousearena.com or www.dumbolio.com or by calling 718-666-3049 ext. 5
Coming next month: the April 21st edition of Dumbolio will feature Howard Fishman, who just played a sold-out performance at Lincoln Center (as part of the American Songbook Series). His latest songs-as always, in his unique jazz-blues-folk mix-were inspired by travels through Romania.
