About This Show

With the closure of Fez in March, Spin Cycle inaugurates a new venue, Ace of Clubs, with a special Gay Pride series of events beginning June 3rd with the long-awaited return of The Nellie Olesons with Older! Uglier! Meaner!. The acclaimed bicoastal sketch comedy group (comprised of Nora Burns, Terrence Michael & John Cantwell) presents their first NYC show after a four-year hiatus. During this time the Nellies got older, uglier and meaner, so they are back with an all -new appropriately titled show.

The show, which debuted to sold-out houses in Los Angeles this spring, is a riotous romp of pomp, politics, pom-poms and peter-pussy. Older! Uglier! Meaner! is a trip into a twisted and surreal world. With queeny dance routines, annoying orgasms, and tributes to cult classics like Psycho, Grey Gardens, and Mommie Dearest, the Nellie’s satirical sketches skewer everyone from office workers and orgasmic newscasters to cunt-supreme Ann Coulter and coma-girl Terri Schiavo. And fans won’t want to miss Junkie Jones who makes a return visit with her own psychic show!
