Apocalypse Cabaret: Songs for the End of the World

A lonely karaoke jockey is the sole survivor at the end of the world, and decides to go out singing. A darkly hilarious, high-octane spectacle, where Nietzsche meets the Spice Girls, and the world ends in song. Chanteuse, comedian, and chaos enthusiast Scout Durwood (MTV’s Mary + Jane) hailed as 'brazen, brass' (Vogue), makes a powerhouse Fringe debut packed with original songs, pop bangers, audience interaction, and existential musings. This full-throttle celebration of life at the edge of the abyss asks the big question: is there time for one more song?

Theo Mason Wood: Legalise Kissing

A genre-defying mix of stand-up, surreal storytelling, and live techno anthems, Legalise Kissing is a punk-clown manifesto on love, identity, and modern chaos. Writer for Netflix’s The Gentlemen and now Apple TV, award-winning comedian Theo Mason Wood blends razor-sharp wit with absurdist theatricality, delivering a show that’s as heartfelt as it is unhinged. Fresh from a sold-out preview at Comedy Café Berlin, where audiences raved about its chaotic brilliance, Theo brings a high-energy mix of comedy, character work, and pounding beats to the stage. Winner of the Berlin New Stand-Up Award and semi-finalist in the West End New Act of the Year competition, Theo has performed across Europe, most recently at the prestigious Moth Club in London. At its core, Legalise Kissing explores the absurdity of human connection in an age of chaos—where love, rebellion, and techno collide. Theo’s unpredictable energy, biting satire, and beautifully weird storytelling keep audiences on edge in the best way possible. If you like your comedy bold, smart, and a little unhinged, this is the show for you. Come for the jokes, stay for the manifesto. And maybe, just maybe, leave ready to start a revolution. Book now—kissing optional.
