Charles Phoenix in Pomona

The slide show entertainer will be at the NHRA Museum in Pomona at 8 p.m. Saturday with his “Retro Holiday Slide Show.” I think it’s the first time the L.A. resident (and Ontario native) has done this holiday-themed show in the Inland Valley.

He’ll be showing ’50s and ’60s Kodachrome slides of classic and kitschy New Year’s, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas life and style.

“Marvel at the most politically incorrect New Year’s Rose Parade floats, the Lamb Cake Contest on Easter Sunday, then explode with patriotic pride on July Fourth,” says Phoenix in a press release. “Homemade trick-or-treat costumes will have you howling on Halloween before we trace the tragic life of a Thanksgiving turkey. Attend a kinky Christmas bondage party and see who gets the most outrageous toys on Christmas morning.”

Tickets are $25 from Phoenix’s website. The museum is at 1101 W. McKinley Ave., at Fairplex.

Holiday sweaters and plaid shirts are encouraged.
