In that tournament, Flecha lifted a combined 1,725 pounds across three different competitions – squats, bench press and deadlifts. His participation in the World Elite Sumo tournament will be Flecha’s sumo wrestling rules debut. As a teenager, Flecha was a football player for Orlando Christian Prep, competing as both an offensive and defensive lineman. Also announced today as a new entrant to the one-night tournament, was another Orlando resident, World Elite Sumo veteran Soslan “Big Bear” Gagloev. The 6-foot-5, 350-pound Gagloev is a native of the former Soviet Union and former collegiate football player who was one of the youngest competitors in history to reach Japan’s top-flight sumo wrestling division over the course of a three-year tenure in sumo’s homeland. In the World Elite Sumo tournament, Flecha and Gagloev join previously announced Makini “Big Mak” Manu, who also recently made his sumo debut and is the number one-ranked super heavyweight in Dana White’s Power Slap organization, fighting out of Carson, Calif.; former Japanese top-division sumo wrestler Hidenoumi “The Iron Wall” Takuya of Tokyo; and Orlando-based MMA fighter, Brennen Moorefield. Additional World Elite Sumo tournament participants will be announced soon. World Elite Sumo live events bring together top-level athletes from around the world and feature live taiko drumming, dramatic entrances, and an immersive fight night production that blends athleticism, intensity, and spectacle. The World Elite Sumo one-night tournament begins with a qualifying round comprised of single-round matches. After the qualifying stage, all subsequent tournament matches are contested in a best-of-three round elimination format that produces a fast-paced, high-stakes event. Doors at Caribe Royale Orlando will open at 6 p.m. local time for the World Elite Sumo event on November 21.

Featuring a live performance from the Fernwood String Quartet! One hundred years after it first crept from the shadows, F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu remains one of the most haunting and influential films ever made. Released in 1922, this unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula transformed the vampire from a charismatic aristocrat into a nightmare figure, giving cinema one of its most unforgettable monsters in the form of Count Orlok, portrayed by the eerily unforgettable Max Schreck. Directed during the height of the German Expressionism movement, Nosferatu follows the doomed real-estate agent Thomas Hutter as he travels to Transylvania and unwittingly unleashes an ancient evil upon his hometown. Through distorted architecture, ghostly imagery, and groundbreaking visual effects, Murnau crafted a work that still feels unsettling a century later. 18th Annual Creepy Crawl 5K Run & Fun Walk October 26, 2026 The Bleeding Disorders Foundation of Florida is excited to announce its 18th annual Halloween-themed Creepy Crawl 5K & Fun Walk.

Tickets for the shows are on sale now via the Dr Phillips Center website. https://www.drphillipscenter.org/show/rita-rudner-q5bt Rita Rudner is one of the most successful and enduring comedians in entertainment, achieving record-breaking success in Las Vegas with nearly two million tickets sold, more than $100 million in gross revenue, and the distinction of headlining the longest-running solo female comedy show in the city’s history.

Bianca Del Rio is hitting the road again with a new global comedy tour, and no one is safe, nothing is off limits, and feelings are not welcome. Get ready to swallow a jagged pill of truth because the "Clown in a Gown" is back and meaner than ever. Bianca Del Rio returns to the global stage with her seventh solo stand-up tour, "It Gets Bitter". This milestone trek featuring more than 50 North American dates isn't just another night of comedy; it’s a celebration of 30 years of professional drag excellence and three decades of Bianca absolutely hating everything you stand for. And the bad news for Orlando is that life is about to get bitter, as Bianca Del Rio returns to the stage in the city on Thursday, March 18, 2027. Performing at Steinmetz Hall tickets for the show are available now. https://www.drphillipscenter.org/show/bianca-del-rio-bxnd Annoucning the tour, Bianca commented, 'There's a lot going on in the world today, and I have a lot to say about it. I'm looking forward to finally getting back on the road and venting to anyone who will listen. The old saying is 'It gets better', but I'm proof that after 30 years in drag, IT GETS BITTER!' Expect a masterclass in vitriol as the RuPaul’s Drag Race winner turns her razor-sharp tongue toward the absolute absurdity of modern life. From the vapid landscape of pop culture to the chaotic state of world events, and—most importantly—the mundane things people do every day that drive her to the brink, no topic is off-limits and no ego is too big to be deflated. A Stern Warning: If you are sensitive, easily offended, or possess a fragile sense of self-worth, do not select seats near the stage. In classic Bianca fashion, the front row is a firing squad, and no one is safe from her legendary biting insults and lightning-fast wit. Bianca Del Rio, otherwise known as Roy Haylock, is a dimple-cheeked, larger-than-life drag queen and outrageous comic who isn’t afraid to shock and offend. When it comes to insult comics, Bianca is in a class by herself. Fierce, funny, and fabulous, she has sandblasted her name in the annals of pop culture on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Thanks to her snarky frankness, impeccable timing, and politically incorrect humor, she became the show’s breakout star, winning its sixth season. Now as Bianca Del Rio announces here seventh world tour and celebrates her 30-year career in show business. It has also been announced that Del Rio will return to reality TV for the first time in over a decade as a contestant on the upcoming season of The Traitors, premiering next year. Dubbed the “Joan Rivers of the Drag World” (The New York Times), there isn’t anything Bianca is afraid to say. A self-professed “clown in a gown”, Bianca is quick to point out that she is the biggest joke of all.

Canadian alt-pop artist Mico is set to embark on a major international tour in support of his major label debut album When The Lights Turn On. After a whirlwind year of sold out shows, his debut album, and a rapidly expanding global fanbase, 23-year-old Filipino Canadian artist MICO has announced his 2027 IN:BETWEEN Tour, taking him across Europe and the U.S. , with the tour kicking off on January 18, 2027. The 29-date global headline tour arrives at a fitting moment for MICO, who has spent the past year navigating the space between where he came from and where he is headed. From growing up in Toronto and building his audience online to spending much of the last year on the road, MICO's music has increasingly explored what happens when the life you knew starts to feel different. The IN:BETWEEN Tour brings that feeling to the stage, marking his biggest headline run yet and taking his world to new cities across two continents. The IN:BETWEEN Tour will kick off in Europe in January, taking MICO through Barcelona, Paris, Cologne, Munich, Prague, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London, Dublin, and more before continuing across the U.S. through March. The tour will hit Orlando on Saturday, February 27, taking to the stage at House of Blues Orlando. Tickets for the show are on sale Friday, October 16 at 10 am. https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/2200654600DD9A42 The tour follows MICO's sold out headline dates across North America and Europe and comes as his community of "amicos" continues to grow well beyond the internet spaces where he first found them. MICO released his debut album When The Lights Turn On in June via Columbia Records. Blending the hook heavy nostalgia of 2000s and 2010s pop punk with modern alt pop, hyperpop, and alternative influences, the album captures the emotional chaos of growing up in real time. Across the project, MICO explores identity, heartbreak, nostalgia, online perception versus reality, and the strange experience of outgrowing the people and places that once felt like home After building an audience independently through Discord communities, Twitch streams and self-released material, the Canadian artist has transitioned into the global major-label system while retaining the online-first fanbase that initially drove his success. His recent singles ‘DREAMBOY’ and ‘Like You Mean It’ have accelerated international attention, helping push his catalogue beyond 300 million streams worldwide. Mico’s rise reflects a broader shift in how emerging artists are developing careers outside traditional industry pathways. Instead of relying on radio or touring circuits first, artists like Mico have built communities directly through gaming platforms, livestreams and social media ecosystems before converting those audiences into ticket buyers. The strategy has already translated into sold out North American and European headline runs for the singer over the past 18 months.
