The last Sunday of every month at Maker’s Straight Up, the Kabaret Falschtanz puts on a show of dance, comedy, music, and theatre that’s sexy and a little bit naughty. Our Jessica Alcorn interviews director Lynna Schneider along with other members of Kabaret Falschtanz.

The Dueling Piano Bar
Uncovering Oklahoma (finally) visits Michael Murphy’s Dueling Piano Bar in Oklahoma City’s Bricktown district for our Comedy Around OKC episode! Our new guest host, Jessica Alcorn (who is filling in for Sasha), interviews General Manger, Wayne Potter, along with musicians Stephen M. Winter and Lee Huff to talk about the show. Be sure to hit up the Comedy Around OKC episode page for more information and pictures. (I also updated that page, fixing some stuff on OKC Improv and added an album link.)
Bonus fact: we had originally planned to do a segment on Michael Murphy’s for our first episode, however, timing for an interview with the owner never worked out. It was for the best though because we did a better job on the video now then what we would have done back then. I did manage to use one quick shot of b-roll (it’s the clip of the girls singing on stage) from when I filmed some stuff on the place last year.

Monkeying Around
For this week’s Something Sundays I’m featuring the handmade stuffed monkeys from Pippin + Pearl inside Mister Rabbit (2411 N. Guernsey in Oklahoma City).
The monkeys are handmade here in Oklahoma by Adrian Mix. Each monkey has a different name, style, personality, and price (either $30 or $35). The name tag includes care instructions and date of birth. The monkeys are approximately 15″ long, from head to toe. They feature both machine and hand stitching. Although these are toys, they are not recommended for small children. Did I mention these are all handmade? Go check out the adorable monkeys for yourself.
On the subject of Pippin + Pearl, this Saturday, July 17th from 7 pm to 10 pm will be their first art show. Event details can be found here on Facebook.
