CHICAGO — The legendary Admiral Theatre is shooting its shot with reality TV personality Lauryn Efird, offering her $10,000 to make a
special appearance on April 10th and, as the club puts it, “show Chicago her pumpkins.
”
The offer comes just days after reports surfaced that Efird — better known to fans as “Pumpkin” from the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
universe — launched an OnlyFans account.
And the Admiral Theatre says if Pumpkin is already monetizing her “assets” online, Chicago would be happy to see them live and in
person.
“We heard Pumpkin is cashing in on her pumpkins,” said Mike Dickinson Regional Manager for Pony Clubs.
“So we figured Chicago deserved a chance to see them too.
”
The Chicago venue — famous for viral publicity stunts and celebrity appearances — says the offer includes:
$10,000 appearance fee
Featured stage appearance on April 10th
VIP hosting and meet-and-greet opportunities
But the club says the invitation isn’t totally out of left field — because there’s already some family history.
Pumpkin’s mother, reality TV personality Mama June Shannon, previously made headlines after appearing at strip clubs during her own
publicity tour.
“Mama June already warmed up the stage,” Dickinson joked.
“If Pumpkin wants to follow in mom’s footsteps, we’ve got the spotlight ready.
”
The Admiral says the invitation is meant in good fun — but they’re completely serious about the money.
“Ten thousand dollars is a lot of pumpkins,” Dickinson added.
“All she has to do is bring them to Chicago.
”
Whether Pumpkin accepts the offer or not, the Admiral Theatre says the invitation stands.
“The internet may have seen them first,” Dickinson said.
“But Chicago deserves a look too.
