Johnny Showcase, the ringleader of a crew of eccentric performers known as the Lefty Lucy Cabaret, thinks he's hip. He gyrates to Prince in pale orange suits and periodically is joined by his secret lover Vicki Fastlane for slightly coarser versions of Heart's "Alone." ("You don't know how long I have waited to touch your tits and hold you tonight. ... ") David Sweeny, aka Johnny Showcase, created the breakout act that won over crowds at the 2009 Fringe Fest. This weekend the act is back for two nights of ridiculous takes on original and classic songs. We know you're achin' to experience Lefty Lucy hits such as "Sensual, But Not Sexual (Because I'm Married)" and "M. Night Shalamon."
