A four part, darkly humorous examination of how f***ed up Boston’s history can be, and how we used to just end each other’s lives all the time.

Presented on May 6th, Part Two tells the story of the actual Boston Massacre, the Great Fire of 1872, and the Boylton Mall T Explosion of 1897. No need to have seen Part One in order to enjoy these stories!

Local Storyteller and social media historian Daniel Berger-Jones recounts a scintillating, shocking, and irreverent narrative of the facts and then discusses them with a panel of local comedians and performers.

Audience members will have the opportunity to compete against the panel for $2 scratch lotto ticket prizes, or to sit passively and drink while being horrified and amused in an evening of history, ridicule, ribald toasts, drinking games, singing, and romping good times. All of this while discussing morbid violence, so if you’re easily offended, or a small and sensitive child, this show is not for you.

This performance runs approximately 75 minutes.
