The show which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of drag performers, in particular Dandy of the Dead (aka TikTok superstar and regular Rio Theatre host, Dandy) and his invalid brother, Jordy Matheson. It is all the more tragic in that they were gay. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of East Van history, The Dandy Chainsaw Masquerade.
Come dressed in your Halloween best for a raucous evening of campy horror comedy, drag performances, burlesque, games and music! Don’t miss out on the interactive elements in the VIP section, which includes priority seating and a prop bag that coordinates with the show!
