Well this is a massive bummer. No official word yet, but apparently @thetrocadero is closing. https://t.co/bfAoZNqoGd

Just this week I wrote about how @thetrocadero’s old handbills inspired the design of my new site. https://t.co/mxQ1viWt6O

I’ve spent more time at @thetrocadero than any other music venue. I don’t go much anymore, but hope it stays afloat. https://t.co/2483jDrtLv

So much sadgasm in the reminiscences flooding @thetrocadero’s mentions right now. 😭

The Big Mess Cabaret’s endearingly sloppy mix of queer-friendly vaudeville, drag, and burlesque was the first act booked when Joanna Pang took over ownership of the Troc from her father in 1994, making it a fitting finale for the venue 25 years later.
