After a nine year absence from Philadelphia, the unwittingly hilarious Dina Martina returns to Philadelphia with the premiere of DINA MARTINA: FLAT & LACKING, a truly amazing night of entertainment that delights the senses like no other. Since her last Philly appearance in 2006, Dina Martina has packed venues from L.A. to New York to London and shared the bill with acts such as Margaret Cho, Alan Cumming and Justin Bond. It will be performed for one night only -- Friday, September 18 at 8pm at Voyeur (1221 St. James St., just off Locust -- accessible from the PATCO 12-13 & Locust.). Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Tickets are $25, available at 866-811-4111 or www.SpinCycleNYC.com.
Absolutely packed with ludicrous song, horrifying dance, overburdened costumes and sidesplitting video, Dina Martina's shows are impossible to describe - other than that they've become synonymous with jaw-dropping pathos and mind-blowing comedy. Dina Martina has been hailed as "alarmingly funny", "dazzling and mind-blowing" and "as graceful as a Coke machine moving about on a hand truck". What a Dina Martina show is, quite simply put, is a smart and hilarious evening of entertainment that you will never forget.
Dina Martina’s hugely successful shows in New York and Provincetown have made ardent fans of the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Stipe, John Cameron Mitchell, Matt Stone and Jennifer Coolidge. Martina has received nominations for the Alpert Award in Theater and two GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding Off-Off Broadway Theater. She's received two Seattle Times Footlight Awards and the Stranger's 2012 Genius Award for Theater.
