Collabaret
Patrick’s Cabaret unites six acts each night for two magical evenings of multidisciplinary mayhem, where artists are encouraged to incorporate each other into their acts, celebrating cross-genre art, collaboration, and general playing around.

Joining our cast of collaborators, we have united a wide spectrum of talents and disciplines, celebrating our rich artistic community, and providing all sorts of tools for the performers to play with. Some of them will make up their sets right then and there, because, well, that’s what they do. Heather Spear, aka The Gentleman King blends dance, burlesque, drag, and performance art to create innovative pieces. With the Fur unites an ungodly amount of young people to delight you with improv. Kate Kunkel Bailey weaves hilarious and brutally truthful stories. Khary Jackson is an innovative genius as a poet and an equally amazing cellist. Marcel Michelle combines boylesque and mime in a unique style that is all his own. Mayhem, the improv duo are hilarious and sublimely witty. Ward Rubrecht brings a specific style of storytelling reminiscent of short story powerhouses like John Steinbeck. Ben San Del is a Twin Cities staple in the stand-up comedy scene, and game for just about anything.

Before Internet dating and hookup apps, The Handkerchief code was largely used by gay men in the 1970’s to distinguish sexual preferences and fetishes in gay clubs and on the streets of places like San Francisco and New York.

Each filmmaker or filmmaking team tells a story of a different color/fetish of the code. Films range from narrative to experimental to erotic and animated, with many films redefining the traditional code with colors, patterns, and fetishes up to creative interpretation of the artist.
