"Super Geek League, Billy the Fridge, Johnny Sonic, Dead Vampires, MC Psycho the World's Worst Comic
(Crocodile) If this Super Geek League show is anything like the Showbox gig I saw when they played with the Jim Rose Circus and WWE wrestling heavy Jake the Snake Roberts, then audiences should expect a Polyphonic Spree–esque rock 'n' roll freak show—complete with robots, clowns, burlesque (including a barely dressed Fuchsia FoXXX), skeletons, garden gnomes, and one Sammy the Dwarf dressed as a leprechaun.
