March 13, 2026–Chicago, IL — The legendary Admiral Theatre is shooting its shot with reality TV personality Lauryn Efird aka Pumpkin from “Here Comes Honey BooBoo” franchise by offering her $10,000 to make a special appearance on April 10th and, as the club puts it, “show Chicago her pumpkins,” just days after reports surfaced that Efird has launched an OnlyFans account according to TMZ https://www.tmz.com/2026/03/13/pumpkin-onlyfans-snaps-revealed/
The Admiral Theatre says if Pumpkin is already monetizing her “assets” online, Chicago would be happy to see them live and in person on stage.
“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 for a featured stage appearance on April 10th with 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 for her daughter,” 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 have us fly her out bring them to Chicago.”
Whether Pumpkin accepts the offer or not, the Admiral Theatre says the invitation stands.
“Pumpkin is phenomenally known in the pop culture world, and we think that she would be an awesome stage presence at the Admiral Theatre. We have had many celebrities and many pop culture, icons grace, the stage of the Admiral over its long story history pumpkin would be phenomenal to hit and also extend that legacy,” says Dickinson. “At the world, famous Admiral Theatre we pride ourselves on creating ripped from the tabloid headlines pop culture events, and we think this would be another great one to add to that.”
