About

You don’t wanna miss this – the first of it’s kind! A Jackass Opera Auction. How's that for a fundraiser?

Even MTV’s Johnny Knoxville can’t hang with us.

Three rounds. Three singers per round. Three secret boxes. YOU make the choice.

Bid on things to make your favorite One Ounce singer SQUIRM - they are risking it all for you! This is no time to be a diva, folks. How will you test their pride, guts, and strength? Here are a few teasers:
Teaser #1: One box will contain headphones blasting Nickelback. Try to sing Puccini now, buddy!
Teaser #2: Shoes off. Feather ready. Now “Quando m’en vo!” – you bet we’re watching!

We’ve got so many Jackass items, we don’t know what to do with them, so YOU can bid on a chance to try for yourself! If that’s not how you roll, we’ve got you covered. Other raffle items will include exclusive autographed OOO memorabilia, jewelry, gift certificates, and more.

Drink specials throughout the event | Pizza for purchase | Opera Karaoke | A special group performance by OOO | A smashup of Jackass the Movie clips overdubbed with opera (it’s hilarious).

Raffle tickets on sale at the event for $5 — they are also your currency for the Jackass Auction! VIP admission includes 5 raffle tickets (a $25 value!), and reserved seating at the front. Limited quantity, so snatch up your seats now!

All proceeds benefit the artists, collaborators, programming, and administration of One Ounce. In other words, your contributions make it all happen!
