The Cheesecapades:
Two Nights of Comedy
Joel Hodgson, the creator of the Peabody Award-winning Mystery Science Theater 3000, and Emmy-winning artist and designer Wayne White bring Cheese-Capades back for its second year as part of the Freezing Man Festival. Joined by Dana Gould performing as cult-favorite character Dr. Z and backed by Appleton's own show band Midwest, two nights at High Noon Saloon promise a collision of laughter, live music, visual surprises, and guests nobody will see coming. This is Freezing Man at its most delightfully unpredictable.
