AND MORE TBA


NED’s Friend-Hole Cabaret is a motivational seminar-turned-chaotic variety meltdown that’s been compared to Rocky Horror for its interactive, delirious energy.

The show begins with TED Talk sincerity, but unravels into a deranged adventure of bizarre guests, surreal rituals, and a motivational speaker spiraling into existential absurdity. A brilliantly bizarre live fever dream where comedy, chaos, clown, clever stupidity and sincere nonsense collide. Don't question it, just go and surrender to the absurd.

Audiences are saying!...


“Utter genius. The best show I’ve seen this year.”

“A cult following reminiscent of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

"The Blend of physical comedy, audience interaction, and parody made it a real sight to behold"

"Prepare to enter a world so crazy and so fun that it has to be seen to be believed."

"We experienced shock, joy, arousal and concern for the performers' wellbeing (onstage and off)."

"I can’t get the theme tune out of my head.

"The intellectual comedy was thought-provoking and hilarious."
