Spit Spreads Death: A Mütter Museum Pop-Up!
What happens when disease strikes a city of two million people, sickening half a million and killing more than 12,000 in just six weeks and 20,000 in six months? During the fall of 1918, in the last months of World War I, Philadelphia hosted the largest parade in its history. Within days, influenza casualties overwhelmed hospitals.
Join us on Wednesday, September 25th for an infectious lecture, influenza exhibition, and Mütter Museum Pop-Up at Tattooed Mom!
FREE // 21+ // UPSTAIRS
Robert D. Hicks, Director of the Mütter Museum, will lead a talk about the disaster that claimed more than 16,000 lives in six months, as well as an exhibition of relevant artifacts from the museum collection, both of which highlight the museum’s most ambitious exhibition, Spit Spreads Death: the 1918-19 Influenza Pandemic in Philadelphia.
Join us for a brew, burger specials, and a bit of local dark history—PLUS the chance to win tickets to the museum!
Exclusive talk begins at 6:30PM.
Can’t make it? Don’t miss out on the exhibit, and make sure to catch the museum’s interactive commemorative parade with Blast Theory UK on September 28th!

Get In, It’s An “Adult Swim” Drag Show!
Long ago before there was Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu, people were stuck watching cable TV and suffered through whatever was playing at the time. Many insomniacs and late-night party people were driven to watch either Nick at Nite reruns or infomercials when the clock struck midnight. Then a beacon of hope emerged from the brilliant minds at Cartoon Network to create young adult programming for those of us still fighting off Mr. Sandman.
With shows like Family Guy, Dethklok, Futurama, Robot Chicken, the Oblongs, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and more, Adult Swim has become an ethos in entertainment!
Come join us as we celebrate these shows & more as our Dragsters bring them to life on the stage. As with any Curiosities of Drag production, there will be games, prizes, a raffle, and more fun than should be legal!
