Traveling Entertainment Show

 

The Annie Feingold Show is one of many traveling entertainment acts that perform for live audiences across the colonized worlds. Annie Feingold’s show consists of a variety of performances as varied as spoken historical accounts to ribald comedy acts.

 

The show started in 2338 on Franklin and has traveled across the colonized areas of the Clement Sector. The performances feature anti-grav gymnastics, erotic dancers, musical performances, comedy skits, dramatic readings of Shakespeare, a holography-based history lesson.  Feingold’s performance is always the final act in the show. While originally a comedy routine, over time this performance has become more about social commentary and biting satire.

 

Changes are often made in the line-up and content due to the many different cultural rules and requirements across the colonized worlds. Even still the show sometimes runs into problems. Despite the fact that the show sends advance teams to the world ahead of the show to gauge the sensitivities of a possible audience, there can still be problems.  The show is still banned from Gagnon because of a joke she told that Major Calderon took personally.

 

Her strong support of the idea of keeping all of the worlds independent and not “under some central government” have made Annie unpopular with some officials in The Hub Federation. She often irreverently lampoons corporations and governments with stories of their perceived incompetence.

 

All of these have made her show wildly popular among the people of the colonized worlds. Shows sell out in large venues. In places where the show is banned from performing, there is a strong black market for holorecordings of the show. Tickets to the show often sell out well in advance of the show’s arrival in a system.
