Celebrate Star Wars Day with Paul Anthony's Talent Time! It's a variety show that takes place in Jabba the Hutt's Palace with...

✔ DARTH VADER PERFORMS STAND UP COMEDY!
What if Vader was a stand up comedian? What sorts of observations would he riff on? Friend and former comedian Dustin Lad, dusts off his classic Star Wars themed bit for your enjoyment!

✔ THE GEEKENDERS STAR WARS BURLESQUE!
They will be performing their full show "The Empire Strips Back" the following evening at the Rio Theatre. We offer you a small preview of that, only without the stripping. Consider this an extra long tease.
