b"Imagine your favorite local bar gathered its funniest, sexiest, strangest, and most talented patrons and friends, and brought them together to put on a wild variety show and you\\u2019ve got a reasonable idea of what you\\u2019d experience when you see Miss Behave's Mavericks.\\nSo back in spring, there was some buzz starting to grow about a new show downtown, Miss Behave\\u2019s Mavericks. Vital Vegas had reported on it. (I have to say here that I often appreciate Vital Vegas\\u2019s perspective and info - and I know he\\u2019s a friend of the podcast - but he seems to have a love of all things downtown that I don\\u2019t necessarily share.) But the buzz kept growing, and it really piqued my curiosity. I knew about the previous Miss Behave show - which was at Bally\\u2019s - but only by name.\\nI also am not afraid to admit that I\\u2019m kind of a value shopper when it comes to Vegas. I\\u2019m always looking for the deals and the bang-for-your-buck. So when I found out that\\u2019s tickets were $25 each, I was sold. By the way, they\\u2019ve since gone up to $39 per person, but this is still a hell of a deal. You\\u2019d be hard-pressed to find another show in town at that price. A little more on cost later.\\nCheapshot in Fremont East is a whole mood.\\nMiss Behave\\u2019s Mavericks is playing at Cheapshot, which is in the first block of Fremont East, in the space formerly occupied by Beauty Bar. We saw this show in July, and of course it was super hot outside. Seating is first come first serve, so we wanted to get there early to get good seats. Now this was probably our least enjoyable part of the experience. It\\u2019s Vegas. It\\u2019s July. It\\u2019s hot outside. We arrived at 6 for a 7:00 curtain time. The website said the doors opened at 6, so we\\u2019re thinking this shouldn\\u2019t be a problem. But there\\u2019s a fence and a closed gate in front of the doors, and they aren\\u2019t letting anyone in. I was thinking that maybe they were doing this to make the show seem better, because whatever was inside was better than standing out on the street and melting. The show could have just been watching aardvark\\u2019s shitting and it would have been great as long as there was air conditioning.\\nHonestly, the venue staff did their best to try to make up for it. Miss Behave herself (the stage name of performer and host Amy Saunders) came out and apologized and handed out cold water bottles. She explained that the doors didn\\u2019t actually open until 6:30, and she had requested several times for the info online to be changed, but it hadn\\u2019t been changed yet. Keep in mind that when we arrived, there were 2 groups of people in front of us, and before they finally let us in quite the line had developed behind us. Since seating is first come, first serve, I recommend you still arrive about an hour before showtime, even if the doors open only 30 minutes prior. Just have a cold drink in hand, and maybe choose your show time carefully. I\\u2019m just grateful that the venue is on the south side of the street, so we had some shade.\\nLook, I'll be honest: I have no idea what's happening here.A few words about seating\\u2026 As I\\u2019ve already mentioned, the venue is first come, first serve. When it was our turn to be seated, they asked if we wanted to be more towards the front or more towards the back. I said \\u201cmore towards the front\\u201d and they put us right smack in the front row. I wasn\\u2019t expecting this, but was fine with it. If I didn\\u2019t want to be so close, like some people might, I\\u2019m sure they would have moved us if I requested it. The chairs were small cane-back chairs that had no cushions, so it was a little uncomfortable. Lacking a better option, I ended up setting my drink on the stage. Speaking of the stage, like the venue, it\\u2019s very cozy. There\\u2019s only room for maybe a dozen people in the front row. Everyone is in the same style of seating, and our chairs are on the floor in the bar - there\\u2019s no slope like theater seating has - so it might get more difficult to see the further back you are. Thankfully, it's such a small venue that I don\\u2019t think this is an issue.\\nO"
