At 11:00am we welcome direct from sold out shows at The Emerald, The Black Box, KC Fringe Fest, and Edinburgh Festival Ned Stacie of Ned’s Nighthole LIVE! Joins us to share all of the details of their new show: NED’s Friend-Hole Cabaret LIVE a brilliantly bizarre live fever dream of comedy, chaos, clown logic, clever stupidity, and sincere nonsense. NED takes the stage with TED Talk confidence and one desperate goal: to speak so profoundly that the audience is moved to tears. As his quest for emotional transcendence intensifies, logic collapses, surreal guests appear, and the presentation unravels into a deranged hour of wolves, Werner Herzog, tech decks, mouse traps, and existential nonsense. Ned Stacie, Francois, Peter Pain and Mandy share details. NED’s Friend-Hole Cabaret LIVE Saturday, May 16, at 8:00, at The Warwick Theater, 3827 Main Street, KCMO.
