Join us for a live performance of MAME.’s album, Orange Peel, in full, and much more. Orange Peel is an album written by a queer elder emo engineer comedian who went to therapy - and you can feel all of that throughout. This album is a culmination of a year of learning, growing and accepting who you are. And toads and squirrels, of course. The band, MAME., consists of married couple Emily Mame and Furat. We will also have Nate Lamy on the drums! Opening up, we will have comedy by Steph Dalwin and improv by Riot Improv. All proceeds from the show will be donated to the Grace Church Food Pantry in East Boston.
