‘And I Am Not Lying’ is roaring back into Washington, DC and cock-rocking the NPR crowd at The Black Cat on Friday, July 12th, at 9PM.

This show is going to leave a smoldering crater on 14th St NW, featuring a Game of Thrones burlesque act by Corvette LeFace, comedy/storytelling from This American Life alums Dave Hill and Jeff Simmermon, Afro-Brazilian drumming by Batala and more stories from Brad Lawrence and Cyndi Freeman, plus a special visit from NYC burlesque queen Cherry Pitz.

Seating will be limited, so you’ll want to get a ticket in advance and get there early if you want to sit down.

You can see a poster and video of all the performers, get more info here.
