Orchid Faire Entertainment has rounded up 10 different acts—the fiddler, belly dancers, drag kings, burlesque performers, contortionists, martial artists, musicians and more—for Church, “one Hell of a variety show.” The sideshow goes off Aug. 5, way down in the basement confines of Gnarly Deli in downtown Chico.
