GOOD NEWS FOR METROPOLITAN ROOM FANS ON HALLOWEEN

Good news for all THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - / ) fans - this year's NYC HALLOWEEN PARADE in Greenwich Village will be a little shorter this year and won't impact this Chelsea hotspot as in previous years. The route on Sunday night, October 31st, is now five blocks shorter because of the NYPD's new rule requiring all city parades to cut down their routes by 25 percent or be limited to five hours. So the route up Sixth Avenue ends at 16th Street, not 23rd Street. The cutbacks on parades are expected to save the police department $3 million a year in overtime pay for extra officers.

Call for cover/minimum information.

AUS: THE TERRIBLE ACCOUNT OF THE ST. FIACRIUS ORPHANS

Dr. Dorian P Urinberry III, Alphonse Cheese-Probert and Heapus Maximus as they take you on a hellish journey through the darkened halls of the St. Fiacrius Home For Wayward Children at THE BUTTERFLY CLUB (204 Bank Street, South Melbourne, VIC - 03 96902000 - ) on Thursday through Sunday, October 28th through 31st at 9:00 pm (8:00 pm on Sunday), as part of the club's Halloween celebration. Like a demented BBC radio play accompanied by a 70s slasher film score, The Laudanum Project tell stories that horrify and delight in equal measure. The effects will be devastating. Call for cover/minimum information.

AUS: ATROCITY: CABARET DU GRAND GUIGNOL

As part three of the Halloween celebration at THE BUTTERFLY CLUB (204 Bank Street, South Melbourne, VIC - 03 96902000 - ) is ATROCITY, a unique ingenious character comedy, presented on Friday & Saturday, October 29th & 30th at 10:30 pm. Based on the famed Theatre du Grand Guignol of old, ATROCITY is a contemporary journey into the dark mind of man - a cacophony of mayhem and madness, sex and violence, song and dance, cabaret and burlesque that is not for the faint of heart. Espousing the creed 'Beauty, Truth, Horror,' it is a theatrical experience like no other. The show is performed by Stevl Shefn and his Translator Fatima, and created by 2003 Raw Comedy winner Steve Sheehan. Two new original clowns: one all color and movement, a downtrodden everyman in the tradition of Borat and the Marx Bros; the other a colorless translator, unknown but for her expressive eyes and assured translation. As one shaggy dog story follows another Stevl's survival is commendable, but who is Fatima and what's her story? Rated R-18+. Call for cover/minimum information.
