You read correctly. The Tesla Project is getting funny! Here’s more:

The Electric Revival, led by the charismatic Reverend Saturday, is where they proclaim testament to the glory of Tesla and the legacies of other mad geniuses like him that will lead us to our scientifically-awesome future. Praise Tesla and his majestic coils!

Mr. Saturday & Sixpence are this universe’s prime space-time bending gentlemen-for-hire, at your service! No other high caliber masters of their art can claim to include the finest mentalist in 16 dimensions and a charismatic mime wanted in 13 of those 16 dimensions!

Saturday & Sixpence are entertainers extraordinaire with a high improv flair when not on one of their fantastic (and assuredly foolish) adventures, enjoying the adoration of the crowds, gaining energy from their applause, laughter, and if need be, outright confusion.

When in this space-time quadrant, they attend conventions for jolts and jollies, head up the San Antonio Neo-Victorian Association, and for some strange reason, can usually be found in the Texas vicinity. They also happen to be the con-men behind AetherFest, Texas’ first Steampunk convention in San Antonio, TX and they do put on one hell of a convention!

Mr. Saturday & Sixpence are excited to entertain all the attendees of The Tesla Project this year with their wacky antics and our signature Electric Revival!

Mr. Saturday & Sixpence are scheduled to perform at 5:30.
