Years ago, I realized concerts had gotten boring. Why not start a vaudevillian variety show with headliners like Weezer and openers like a dancing horse? In late 2012, Erich Haygun did just that (minus the animal acts) and I’ve gone to many Cheap Seats since.
The show is completely inclusive, with acts ranging from Guerilla Toss to superhuman dancers to teenage poets to the indescribably hilarious Ben Hersey, and it’s always pay-what-you-want. And, somehow, even the average act at Cheap Seats beats most things you’d see at The Sinclair.
Cheap Seats happens January 16th at the YMCA in Central Square.
