It is charming, funny and delightful entertainment for the entire family.

Lori Dokken and Erin Schwab at Town House - Sat nights
This standing gig at Saint Paul's oldest queer bar is not to be overlooked just because it happens on a regular basis.  Their poster boasts that its different show each week - which is obvious if you've ever seen these two hilarious performers.  The Town House is an institution in our fair city, yet I know I have a lot of friends who've never been.  If you are in that camp - get yourself over there and check out a terrific show on Saturday nights.
