POSTPONED TO FEBRUARY 1 (originally scheduled for January 25, thanks SNOW.)

Humorist Matthew Flynn presents NEGATIVBURN, a unique variety event at Hunchback Gallery. With a lineup of legends, provocateurs, and performers, this afternoon event will sit somewhere between a high-art salon and a classy bake sale fundraiser.

Doors open at 1:30pm, entertainment will run from 2 - 4pm. Admission is free, though a $5 donation is suggested. Proceeds go toward the noble cause of paying off Matthew Flynn’s medical bills (an interactive performance piece in itself).

Featured performers:

Bibbe Hansen: a veteran of Warhol’s Silver Factory and the 1960s NY experimental theater and film underground. She is the daughter of fluxus artist Al Hansen and mother of the artist Channing Hansen and pop musician Beck. A multiverse performer, writer, and visual artist, Bibbe has been a member of the international online performance collective second front since 2008. She teaches and lectures on art and the creative process.

Niki Luparelli: a local chanteuse and classically trained singer who balances the sparkle of old Hollywood glamour with bawdy banter and a mastery of the absurd. She is a prominent performer and producer in the New England scene, recognized for her tribute shows, stand-up comedy, and cabaret productions.

Vi: a visual and performance artist known for her humorous and informative approach to skincare and beauty. Through social media, she has gained recognition for her distinctive pairing of colorful makeup and comedic storytelling.

Caroline Moore: an improvisor and stand-up comedian who frequently performs alongside other artists in the comedy scene, exploring humorous and absurd themes through live sketch and improv scenes.

In addition to the performers, guests can also experience Hunchback Gallery’s current exhibit [Re]Frame the Dark.

Hunchback Gallery is on the 2nd floor of 75 Webster Street, Worcester, MA, accessible by stairs or freight elevator. Free parking is available in the lot across the street.
