With all those 50-60 degree days cropping up in February, can it be that March will come in like a lamb? Hard to guess. But be prepared for snow in April! The only thing we can be sure of is that the cabarets and clubs will continue to be filled with performers. Take a peek at some of the talent appearing at our fabulous cabaret spots!

 

And since March is Cabaret Month that means awards a-plenty on the horizon. The 32 Annual Bistro Awards take place on March 13 at Gotham Comedy Club honoring Darlene Love followed by the 31 Annual MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs) Awards on March 28 at BB Kings.
