Cassie Workman: Aberdeen

Thursday, May 2, 2024 at 8:00 p.m.

Tickets: $25

In 1994, the world lost one of its most beloved musicians: grunge icon Kurt Cobain. Part eulogy, part fantasy, part biography, Aberdeen is a conversation with Kurt about life and death taking place across Washington, including his hometown of Aberdeen. Traverse time and space as multi-award-winning comedian and storyteller Cassie Workman races in a desperate bid to save the life of her hero by attempting to manipulate time itself.

Aberdeen is an epic, about loss, music, and memory; an extraordinarily heartfelt love poem, to the voice of a generation.

Cassie Workman is known for her heartfelt and emotive storytelling, her incisive wit, and her brutal deconstructions of the status quo. There is no other voice like hers in comedy today. 

With accolades ranging from Best Show & Directors awards from the Sydney Comedy Festival, multiple Most Outstanding Show nominations from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, a Fringe First award from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and a Raw Comedy National Grand Final win, and with praise from major publishers, critics, and fellow creatives across the world, Cassie is a unique, powerful, and genre-defining artist.
