LAS VEGAS, NV—The Erotic Heritage Museum (EHM) has announced that it will host Tuesday Thomas' and Cyrus Naderpour’s Freak Show! on Friday, April 13. The popular dark comedic variety show, which recently celebrated its third anniversary of sold-out shows in Los Angeles, comes to Sin City for the first time ever.
Tuesday Thomas (E!, VH1, BBC’s World of Weird, The Comedy Store, MTV, Laugh Factory) and Cyrus Naderpour (Life on the F List, The Comedy Store, Alternative Fact Report) produce and MC this strange yet humorous collection of character and musical comedy, dark and twisted standup, WTF performance art, and some of the most bizarre, hardest rocking bands around. The reputation for Freak Show! has become so stellar, producers from America’s Got Talent, The Gong Show and The Voice regularly attend to scout out new talent.
“We are excited to play host to one of the most popular sideshow-based variety shows from Los Angeles, here at the EHM,” said an EHM representative. “It’s a celebration of everyone’s inner quirks, what makes them tick, and breaking social expectations. It’s bound to be one thrilling evening—what better way to celebrate Friday the 13th in Sin City?”
Tuesday Thomas, known as the “Punk Rock Cher,” spent her young adult life as a gypsy, living and traveling throughout the United States. Her travels and deep experiences allowed her keen insight into the human condition, enabling her to mimic and create characters based on the eclectic people she met. Humor has saved Thomas from many of the perils affecting people with her conditions: anxiety and PTSD. As a proud, lifelong outsider, Thomas found her calling and home in knowing that her life and general weirdness brought others laughter; and enabled them to bring out their inner freakiness.
“Freaks come in all forms, shapes and sizes,” observed Thomas. “And no matter who you are, or what you’re going through, Freak Show! is here to let your freak flag fly, as you laugh your troubles away. So, naturally, we’re thrilled that popular demand has enabled us to come share our show with the Sin City audience.”
Cyrus Naderpour was born in Rome, immigrating to the US when he was two years old. At the age of 24, after receiving his BS in Accounting from the University of Maryland, Naderpour moved to LA for a desk job. However, a snowboarding accident left him binging on standup specials in an opioid and weed-induced haze, prompting him to abandon his six-figure salary to become a standup comic—when not surfing, training MMA, or wearing onesies in public.
“It’s more than just a show; it’s a movement,” declared Naderpour. “A movement of acceptance through non-comformity. Freak Show! lets you escape into a surreal world, where all flavors of the unique and strange are celebrated.”
