Art is pain. Pain is art. Two “definitely not masochistic” artists take on the challenge of a lifetime: to create musical comedy with feeling – while feeling the real pain of electrocution.
In what may be their worst idea yet, veteran musical improvisers Lee Apsey (CSI: Crime Scene Improvisation, Your Flaws: The Improvised Musical) and Jayda Fogel (Bird & Tax Collector, ¡Horario Estelar!) weave hilarious and sincere songs, sketches, and stories with the inspiration of the audience and the threat of being shocked, shackled, dunked, and beaten with a stick.
Special guests from the Fringe may also drop in to hammer down on their poor life choices.
You’ll be shocked, and so will the players – literally.
From the award-winning co-creator of multiple Edinburgh Fringe sell-out hit CSI: Crime Scene Improvisation.
