THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH! Oops, too late. BOOM! Who could see that coming? Join us, The Creative Martyrs: ukulele-plucking, kazoo-humming, cello-strumming, storytelling, singing and dancing vaudevillian cabaret duo, in building a new world from the ashes. Satire is dead, long live satire, a little hindsight prescience is all we need to make sense of what once was the new future. 'Among the most compelling cabaret performers at the Fringe... elegant in delivery but blunt in their assertions. Social critique is served neat, or on the rocks of obviously absurd irony’ **** (Time Out).

About the show

CABAPOCALYPSARET is a vaudevillian cabaret show by The Creative Martyrs — a duo who play ukulele, hum kazoo, strum cello, tell stories, sing and dance. The premise: the world has ended, and now they must build a new one from the ashes. Part satire, part absurdist comedy, the show blends social critique with hindsight prescience, delivered with elegance and blunt assertion. It is a free show presented through PBH's Free Fringe.

Why see this show?

A free cabaret that uses the end of the world as a springboard for sharp social satire — the multi-instrumental duo bring wit and absurdity in equal measure.
