City Paper

On Friday, the Arden Theatre master electrician Martin Stutzman will step out of the shadows for Olde City Sideshow. The vaudeville/burlesque performance calls for Stutzman to throw knives, swallow a sword, lift heavy things with his ultra-buff eyelids and stop an industrial steel fan with his industrial tongue. Audience members 21 or over can settle their stomachs with free beer samples from Yards Brewing Company.

Fri., Jan. 4, 6:30-8 p.m., free, Arden Theatre Company, 40 N. Second St., 215-922-8900, ardentheatre.org.
