Step right up! Step right up! Get yourselves a ticket to Mighty Mustachio’s Magical Megashow.
A word from Mr. Mustachio himself:
“Salutations friends, In this glorious month of November, amidst all your excitement of the upcoming holidays, the yuletide spirit, the offering of thanks, saying sayanora to the year - WHATEVER it may be, I wanted to make sure that we all took but a moment beforehand and turn our heads to charity. One charity in particular. The HK Cancer fund. Many fine gentlemen have gone headto head with the beast that is prostate cancer and now I ask you to join me in saluting these brothers and help me raise some dollars and awareness about this fight. In turn I shall reward the fragrant harbour nation, with a spectacular show. A minifest if you will. There will be dancing. There will be singing and by god will there be some rocking. Spread the good word, the Magical Megashow hath come to town!!!” –M.Mustachio
