Josh Wolf: Scraping the Chewing Gum Off Your Pradas


Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on your Prada’s overnight? Perhaps you’ve spent enough time in the multiplex hearing the snorts of the unwashed masses as they sit on the edge of their seats peeing their pants while watching the latest remake of Smokey and the Bandit?
Somehow the glitter of the latest Oscar de la Renta fashion is lost on your compatriots at the neighborhood movie theatre. These ne'er-do-wells may even feign disinterest in your latest Tiffany’s investment.
Still, sitting at home in your mansion’s audio-visual presentation room is not quite the same as achieving a peer review of your Oscar-night finest while enjoying the latest large-screen, larger-than-life theatrical epic. That’s why an Australian entrepreneur is betting that American audiences of abundance will flock to a uniquely twenty-first century,gated-community alternative to the common movie theater.
The bar at the door will be in the form of a $35 ticket price — a consideration perhaps just a little more than the average Christmas tip for your valet — but enough to make Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public reconsider their desire to spend a virtual evening with Pauli Shore.
The experiment will take place in high-income communities of fashion such as Seattle’s own suburb of Redmond where low-income populations are outlawed.
Seattle’s Mainstage Comedy and Music Club does not limit itself to the privileged few. We ask only that you love comedy, support your local hungry comedian, and tip your wait staff. In return we offer you magnificent LIVE entertainment such as Josh Wolf, your headliner Thursday, Friday and Saturday night this week. Josh is hungry enough to put a zing on that Prada-crusted chewing gum.
