The Show!
Iowa Fly Girl (IFG) and Leo LaFlash have crossed paths many times during their performance careers instantly becoming fans of one-anothers art. It didn't take long before the idea of collaboration was gently tossed around. The women wanted a platform to showcase their skills, but also wanted to reach a broader audience by including a variety of different local artists. After a couple meetings their lovechild was born; the Misfit Cabaret!
The goal of this variety show is to showcase a wide variety of the metros talent and to expose fans to other styles of performance art. We know that each performer(s) has their own events and shows, but as artists it’s also know that it can be hard to break outside of our set audience/fan base. These events will target many different patrons based off of their established interested in certain artists, and expose them to other artists that they might not have otherwise known about.
