Stand-up comedy for the end times.
Fresh from the cut-throat comedy basements of NYC and London, award-winning cabaret iconoclast, David Mills, delivers a screamingly jaded look at the apocalypse. Taking aim at our harrowing headlines, Mills eviscerates everything from casual sex and the rainbow regime, to politics, celebrity and affirmation culture. It’s a scathing romp through the boneyard of contemporary culture. Part stand-up, part storytelling, with helpings of surprising musical mashups, this is classic nightclub cabaret thrust into innovative performance territory.
1hr 15min. No Interval.
Ages 18+.

‘Blisteringly smart, achingly funny, uncompromisingly bold, staunchly unapologetic, blissfully original and completely, totally, absolutely enjoyable.’ – Broadway World
‘Debonair, sophisticated, urbane, outrageously funny.’ – Penny Arcade
‘David’s bracing intelligence, skewed view of life, unbridled wit, and piercing dramatic chops push his act to the lofty heights of the best comedy has to offer.’ – Bistro World
