— The Show —

Fun, Joy, Laughter ... and Great Bodies

GRIND HOTEL is The Shining if Mel Brooks and Pee-wee Herman got there first — a funhouse fever dream disguised as spectacle burlesque.

A sexy schlub checks in to the wrong hotel — and reality checks out. When vacuum salesman Tom Peepers arrives for HoseCon, he finds every room in Big City booked. Tom lands at GRIND HOTEL: a seductive, time-bending labyrinth where elevators come alive, the staff floats, and his trusty vacuum develops a mind of its own.

All as a mysterious Manager looks on, guiding events with circus skills. Through a series of 12 rich, stylized, and cheeky dance/acrobatic numbers, Tom's search for his clothes, his hose, and his sanity falls down a rabbit hole of desire and absurdity.

Is it all the Manager's plan?
