MADCAP & BUSTY is a variety show featuring acts & arias from some of Philly’s stupidest & silliest!
These wack-tastic songs, skits and socially-unacceptable sock puppets pair nicely with a drink in the hand and a laugh in the heart. Enjoy a libation with a “scientist” with nothing to prove, get serenaded by a washed-out actress from Hollywood’s Golden Age, behold a charismatic UHaul box’s search for familial connection - all these encounters and more await at Pig Iron Studios this Fall. Just a jolly jaunt from festival hubs Maas and Icebox Project Space, MADCAP & BUSTY is the nightcap clown cabaret that Fringe-goers deserve.
Each performance will feature a legendary local guest artist!
September 13th (9pm) - Iternationally acclaimed acrobat - Nicole Burgio
September 14th (9pm) - Nicole Burgio & absurdist character comedian Grace Lazarz.
