THE STINKY CHEESE MAN And Other Fair(l)y (Stoopid) Tales is a whirlwind of wacky, whimsical wisecrackers! An array of the usual fairy tale suspects pal up to produce preposterous vignettes such as "Cinderumplestiltskin or "The Girl Who Really Blew It", "The Other Frog Prince", "The REALLY Ugly Duckling", and the malodorous "Stinky Cheese Man". Amusing, absurd anthems in styles ranging from vaudeville to Trocadero. Enmesh the frantic nonsense of these crazy and twisted tales.

From the SLEEPER recording, "It's No Picnic Being Cheese", featuring The Rose Ensemble, Chirstina Baldwin, Bradley Greenwald, Laura MacKenzie, Rio Nido, Pat Donohue, Butch Thompson, Dan Chouinard, Prudence Johnson, Maria Jete, The Honeydogs, and many others!
