WE DID IT! We broke in 191 Toole the only way we know how: loudly, proudly, and with our biggest audience EVER. 🎉🏠💥 The Wheel of Misfortune was spun, dignity was tested, and chaos absolutely delivered, thanks to our dazzling, ready-to-play celebrity guests Fulta Burstyn, Nelmar 27 McGee, Parker, and Fireman Todd 🔥 – all under the glamorous command of Chatty Kathee 💋 and the deeply committed-to-being-present Swish Manley 📋😬. It was a night of high scores, powdered donuts, intimate balloons, and frankly heroic amounts of whipped cream. 😈🍩🎈
Next up: The $9.95 Pyramid on April 11 – and yes, we’re doing it all again. 🎤 Tickets available at GoldenGravy.com, the Rialto Theatre box office, and at the door until we sell out.

Retro’s very own Chatty Kathee is hostessing: Rainbow Revue! Saturday, March 28th, a fundraiser for Tucson’s Desert Voices. Check it out!
Huge thanks to our completely unnecessary but deeply committed sponsor, Kitty Butt Yummies, for supporting our debut show at 191 Toole! 🐱💊✨
Tickets for The $9.95 Pyramid on Saturday, April 11 are on sale now – grab yours at GoldenGravy.com, the Rialto Theatre box office, or at the door (until we inevitably sell out)! 🎟️🔥
Back for More. Louder Than Ever. 💥
After a record-breaking debut at 191 Toole, Retro Game Show Night – Tucson’s longest-running live comedy show – is back and fully committed to this whole “bigger room, bigger chaos” lifestyle. We’ve seen what happens with more space… and we regret nothing. 😌🔥
Next up: The $9.95 Pyramid 🎤 – our fast-talking parody of The $25,000 Pyramid, where clues fly, guesses spiral, and teamwork is more of a polite suggestion. Expect rapid-fire rounds, rising panic, and at least one person being aggressively wrong with full confidence. 😅
Hosted by Chatty Kathee 💋
“Assisted” by Swish Manley 📋😬 (definitions may vary)
Featuring Fulta Burstyn ✨ and Dharma Davenport 🔮

Retro Game Show Night – Tucson’s longest-running live comedy show – is making its grand entrance at 191 Toole on Saturday, March 14 🎉… and we’re breaking in the new venue with The Wheel of Misfortune 🎡. It’s our Wheel of Fortune parody where the wheel is shady 😈, the letters are stingy 🔤, and your confidence will be tested in public 😅.
Hosted by Chatty Kathee 💋 with Swish Manley “assisting” 📋😬 (in the same way a Roomba “helps” with furniture). And because this is our inaugural night at 191 Toole, we’re bringing a full all-star lineup 🌟: Fulta Burstyn, Nelmar 27 McGee, Parker, and Fireman Todd 🔥🚒

🤩 Don’t miss Fulta and her fabulous friends this Sunday! 🤩🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Your Sunday afternoon is about to get upgraded. 🚨
Fulta & Friends Cocktail Cabaret is BACK at the Temple Lounge, hosted by the one and only Fulta Burstyn – grand dame drag royalty, professional glam menace, and a woman who has never met a spotlight she didn’t deserve. 💋👑
She’s bringing a lineup so good it should come with a warning label:
🎹 Chris Tackett on piano (making talent look effortless, which is frankly rude)
🎤 Robin Bousel + Sarah Llewellyn serving vocals, face, and feelings
💃 Na-il Ali Emmert delivering dance that will make your core feel personally attacked
🎧 And yes, DJ Bossy Bottom is on deck keeping the grooves going all afternoon because quiet is for tax season.
📅 Sunday, March 8, 2026
🕒 3–6pm
📍 Temple of Music and Art Lounge • 330 S. Scott Ave • Downtown Tucson
🔞 18+
🎟️ Tickets: GoldenGravy.com or at the door (if you enjoy living dangerously)
Arrive early. Order a cocktail. Leave with a new obsession and at least one questionable decision you fully stand by.
Thank you, Arizona Daily Star!
