August 19, 2026• byMichael Strangeways

It’s not too soon to book your visit/re-visit to UNCLE BASEMENT’S ATTIC OF HORRORS! It debuted last year as the latest installment from producer/creator/stars Freddy Molitch and Scott Shoemaker who have already blessed us with so many other delicious queer theater romps like Scott Shoemaker’s War on Christmas and the Ms. Pak-Man cabaret series.

“Uncle Basement” returns October 8, 9, 10 at Theatre Off Jackson in the International District. Tickets already available at www.shoesandpants.com

From the creators of Scott Shoemaker’s War on Christmas and the Ms. Pak-Man cabaret series, comes Uncle Basement’s Attic of Horrors! A Halloween variety spectacular from the other side! Watch in gleeful terror as your host, Uncle Basement, guides you through his theater full of haunted hilarity. Bear witness to killer comedy, demonic dancing, spectral singing and vicious videos that will drive you mad with laughter. There will also be candy and stripping!
