Your wall. Two bugs. They're gonna sing at you.
Every bug knows of Bauble (Lia Kelly) and Skump (Phoebe Caldeiro), the two ladybugs that play a weekly concert on living room wall, in their fittingly named band Bugs On A Wall. Every bug also knows that this concert will tragically be their last before house gets fumigated. Join our little ladybug band for a night of their greatest hits such as: Praying Mantis Wedding, Questions for Humans and Bugs Find A Way, and answer the biggest question on all our minds: “What music would a bug choose to play at its funeral?”
Come in your best bug outfit and join Lia and Phoebe, as they explore identity and intersectionality in a set of original comedy songs. Directed by award winning comedian Alayne Dick.
"Phoebe Caldeiro's original composition was very impressive... Lin-Manuel? Take notes." - Salient Magazine (not a quote from this show but you know, still pretty cool for someone to say about her)
"Musician Lia Kelly starts the show playing the piano. This girl LOVES playing the piano. She is living for it and I am living for her living for it." - Theatreview (also not a quote from this show but she does still really like playing the piano)
