✨ Oh, Hairy! In this solo caba-play, Jarbeaux dons a truly huge amount of feathers, the least flat shoes she can find, and those signature bratty curls to live her disgusting, not respectable dream of doing cabaret. How is it going to look?! SENSATIONAL! Come fall in love at the cabaret (just like Mary & Abe)!

🎶 Can you sing on key? Great! Sing off key? Also, great! Just planning to mouth the words and vibe? Couldn’t be greater! We’ll see you at AAAHH!!! Bling-Along on March 16th, hosted by the one-and-only Jarbeaux.

Introducing Knightcap: where big ideas meet candid conversation.

In our first episode, two forces in arts and culture, @johnjarbeaux of The Bearded Ladies Cabaret and Omari Rush of @culturesource, settle in and give us something to sip on: Art doesn’t always tidy up the truth—nor does it need to. It blurs the edges, stretches the frame, and opens new ways of being. Cheers to *that.*

🤩 ALL ABOUT BARB’S BLING!!!
Next Monday (March 16th) the Bearded Ladies are kicking off our solidarity sing-along series at Broad Street Love! You are invited to join us before the show for Barb’s Bling BYOB Happy Hour, a chance to peruse & purchase a vast collection of unique costume jewelry which has been generously bequeathed to the Beards. Got questions? We’ve got answers!

💍 What time does Barb’s Bling BYOB Happy Hour Start?
6:30 PM! The sing-along will begin at 7:30 PM and (although the early birds will get first pick of this iconic collection) jewelry will be available for purchase throughout the entire event.

💍 How much does it cost?
For general audiences: you will be able purchase a paper bag to fill with jewelry for a suggested donation (we suggest anywhere from $25 to 1 million dollars). The proceeds will be split between the Bearded Ladies Cabaret and our hosts Broad Street Love (who provide services to individuals experiencing deep poverty in Philadelphia).
For nightlife & drag performers: At the request of Barb & her family, jewelry is available to our community for FREE! So grab your chosen family & come through!

💍 What payment methods do you accept?
We’ll have QR codes for PayPal, Venmo & Apple Pay. We are also happy to accept cash donations, but will not be able to provide change! Thanks for understanding!

💍 Is this event really BYOB?
Yes! Whether you’re joining us for Barb’s Bling at 6:30 or the sing-along at 7:30 (or fashionably late as cabaret so often is), you are welcome & encouraged to bring a beverage of your choice.

💍 Who is Barb?
We’re so glad you asked! Barb had a TON of jewelry and loved to dress for herself, showing up unapologetically. Always sparkling, she marched through 86 years of life as a true original. We are proud to host this event with Barb’s family, who will share Barb’s story and legacy in dazzling detail on March 16th.
