Host-entertainer Richard Skipper’s Lucky 13 (Friday, September, 13) benefit at the West Bank Cafe was a thrilling and star-studded evening of cabaret at the restaurant’s Laurie Beechman Theatre.

After an announcement last summer that the truly-beloved institution, the 46-year-old restaurant and performance space would be closing on Aug. 24, the cabaret and theater communities exclaimed a unified NO WAY! A GoFundMe, led by Tom and Michael D’Angora, began raising the funds to keep Steve Olsen and the West Bank Cafe in business. That effort is continuing.. Enjoy the photos and click here to donate.
