The Washington Pavilion is hosting An R-Rated Magic Show tonight. (That’s the actual name of the program.) For $28 to $44, you can watch comedy magician Grant Freeman‘s “raunchy show” of “tricks, antics, stunts, wisecracks, [and] buffoonery.”
I’d expect Republican Representative Jon Hansen to take a break from harassing petitioners and go clutch his pearls outside the Pavilion to protest the potential exposure of children to the pulling of naked martini-swilling bunnies from hats. But the Washington Pavilion beats Representative Hansen to the true-conservative punch and expresses real respect for parental rights:
Recommended for ages 18+.
The show organizer considers parents/guardians to be the best decision-makers on what is appropriate for their children and families [Washington Pavilion, “An R-Rated Magic Show,” promotional webpage, retrieved 2023.07.21].
No need for Big Government to ban raunchy jokes and risqué prestidigitation—the Washington Pavilion trusts parents to decide whether their kids should see an R-rated magic show.
Freeman is working the upper Midwest hard this month, with six more gigs by the end of the month taking him 1,300 miles from Sioux Falls to Fargo, Grand Forks, Austin, Madison, Milwaukee, and Eau Claire.
The Amazing Jonathan, may he rest in peace, was the best adult-oriented Magician/Comedian i’ve ever seen. If anybody is bored, check out some of his old stuff on youtube. I have never heard of this fella mentioned in the article, but I’m glad people like him exist.
Wish you had posted this a couple of days ago so I could adjust my schedule to attend.
