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).
