Presented by David Mills
in association with Hayes Theatre Co

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.

 

‘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
