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.
