IMG Description: Fargo, dressed in a sheer red bodysuit and wearing green glasses, applies lipstick while looking into a hand mirror held by an audience member.

IMG description: Fargo, dressed in a sheer red bodysuit, stands in front of a ladder with pieces of paper taped to it. Suspended from the ceiling is a shovel, pointy side down, with a vinyl record attached. The record is "Abba Eban Speaks". Fargo is standing such that his face is behind the vinyl record, which has Abba Eban's face on it; it looks like Eban's face is attached to Fargo's body. The string suspending the shovel is held by a seated audience member.

IMG Description: Fargo, standing on a pile of dirt which has a shovel and wooden box on it, dances. He is surrounded by audience members, and he is wearing a torn brown shirt and black velvet pants.

IMG Description: In the foreground, Fargo dances with two audience members. In the background, two other audience members are dancing, while others are still seated.
