David Mills: glamour + despair

After a sell-out run in New York, comedy cabaret firebrand David Mills returns with “glamour + despair” – his critically acclaimed, screamingly jaded look at the apocalypse.

A bold showbiz iconoclast, Mills combines sharply satirical stand-up with a singular take on classic nightclub cabaret. ‘glamour + despair’ is a scathing romp through the boneyard of contemporary culture, eviscerating everything from celebrity to casual sex, gay pride to social media, drugs to affirmations, and more.

Mills turns his acidic humour on today’s harrowing headlines and the unrelenting horrors of contemporary life. As for music, expect forgotten 50s classics, undiscovered 70s soul bangers, 90s indie standards, and even something from the past decade.

“Acerbic wit, a biting sting. Hilarious and cynical.” – The Front Row Center

“Debonair, urbane, sophisticated, outrageously funny!” – Penny Arcade
