Local comedian/performance artist Frandu has presented five “Frandutopia” shows in the past, and this one promises to be another one-of-a-kind experience. “Frandu's Death Party” also features stand-up from Nick Hart, music by Mideast Salsa, and host Lauren Cahillane. Expect the unexpected. Shows at 7 p.m., Dec. 2; and 2 and 7 p.m., Dec. 3; it's a fundraiser for Domestic Abuse Intervention Services.
media release: Frandutopia, the morbidly funny, multi-volume chef-oeuvre of local comedian Frandu Smith (The Adaptors), has hit the Madison stage five times before, delighting audiences with its passion, drama and human touch. This year, quirky Lauren Cahillane (Comedy as a Weapon) hosts, and the hilarious Nick Hart (Conan) returns to feature. The band Mid-East Salsa will provide the party vibe at Frandutopia’s sixth episode: Frandu’s Death Party.
Expect music, stand-up comedy, and avant-garde theatre. Better yet, leave your expectations at the door. Pull the plug on your fear of death, and laugh along!
This year’s show is a fundraiser for Domestic Abuse Intervention Services, DAIS, which works to make Dane County, WI, a safer, more just, more equitable place for people who have experienced domestic violence, their children, and the people who love them. DAIS is the only domestic violence shelter in all of Dane County.
This event is made possible by our sponsors: SASS - Sauce & Shells, Tutto Pasta, the Madison Tango Society, and others.
A Silent Auction to benefit DAIS will be held at intermission.
