A Shrek rave is coming to Des Moines

Get in the mood for the holiday season by going a little green.

Driving the news: "Shrek Rave — Shrek the Halls" is coming to Wooly's for one night only on Thursday starting at 9pm.

• Tickets start at $25.

State of play: Most of us are familiar with the Shrek movies and the iconic characters that were born from them like Donkey and Puss in Boots.

• But in the depths of the internet, Shrek has also spurned absurd and sometimes perverse memes that have catapulted the Dreamworks series beyond family-friendly movies to strange Gen Z jokes.

What's happening: Thus, Shrek Rave was born, which has the apt catchphrase, "It's dumb just come have fun."
