Prepare yourself. Avant-Garde-Arama is extreme — at times whimsical, funny, bright, daunting, and intense, but always extreme. Your best bet is to surrender entirely to the mayhem and creativity of the evening, full-frontal nudity and all. Our top pick: standup comic/beatboxer/storyteller Reggie Watts, on Friday night.
