Tom Lehrer is Alive and Well and Has Given Away All Rights to His Music
After selling out every performance at the 2024 Capital Fringe Festival and being named Best of the Fringe by DCTheatreArts.org, the darkly satirical musical revue Tom Lehrer Is Alive and Well and Has Given Away All Rights to His Music is taking its anarchic energy on the road for the Summer 2025 Economic Blackout Tour.
The acclaimed show—created and performed by Andrew Lloyd Baughman—uses a delightfully twisted framing device: Baughman appears as Professor Charles Chucklenut (shook-el-nau), a deranged academic defending a dissertation on Lehrer's ongoing relevance in our current age of absurdity. Featuring nearly 20 of Lehrer's iconic songs—like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, National Brotherhood Week, I Wanna Go Back to Dixie, and The Masochism Tango—the show revives the satirical genius of Tom Lehrer with modern urgency and no apologies.
After its NYC debut at Don’t Tell Mama in November 2024, Cabaret Scenes called the production “highly successful,” praising Baughman as “a skilled interpreter” whose performance makes “even the darkest satire land with charm and precision.”
Join us in the Lounge starting at 7pm for this funny satirical cabaret show!

Sunday FUNday ft Jimbo Jackson & Jason Caliguri
Thrilled to announce one of our favorite duos returning to Kingfly for a Sunday FUNday afternoon~
Jimbo Jackson & Jason Caliguri are a dream team that will have you singing and dancing along as they entertain with familiar hits and their own comedic inserts. It's the perfect day to get the crew together, catch up on life and listen to great music.
ABOUT THE BAND:
This singer/songwriter was the longtime frontman and founder of Pittsburgh’s award-winning band “Jimbo and the Soupbones”. Jimbo has a larger-than-life, soulful voice and his charm is infectious. Jimbo will be joined by his musician brother and friend Jason Caliguri. Jason is an accomplished musician that has the demeanor to match and serves as the perfect complement to Jimbo’s, sometimes off-script nature.
Jimbo crosses musical genres without apology, resulting in a fresh, yet familiar blend of funk, rock, soul and blues that excludes no listener. He offers both original music and soulful, stripped-down covers of the songs that you forgot you loved as well as current classics. Passion, charisma, and an unwavering love for people and music are all woven into every note of Jimbo’ s performance.
The authentic comedy serves as a bonus to an already magnificent show!

As founders of Salsa Pittsburgh, Jeff & Colleen teach group and private lessons, offer DJ services, and manage salsapittsburgh.com, a website dedicated to salsa dancing in Pittsburgh. They can be found most Sunday afternoons teaching group salsa classes at the Wightman School Community Building in Squirrel Hill, where they teach six-week class cycles six times per year for beginner and intermediate level dancers.
