February 8: Batsu! this weekend at WMPAC

It will be one of the wilder nights we’ve hosted at WMPAC. Everybody over 18+ is invited. And fair warning…this show is not for everyone.

The twist on this outrageous evening is less about glorifying the winner, and more about punishing the loser. It certainly has the potential to bring out the schadenfreude in all of us.

For the first time, Batsu! is leaving the comforts of the big city to hit the road, and we’re thrilled Big Sky is on their map.

Join us for an unpredictable, over-the-top night that promises to be as entertaining as it is unforgettable.

Here is an eblast with more details and we are offering $20 tickets with promo code yellowdino.
