Captain Ambivalent’s Every Kind Of Talent Show

The Nest - 803 Franklin St - Pay what you will

YOU (yes, you) have talent worth sharing!
You just need a fantastic variety show to share it in.
It’s open mic meets vaudeville meets show and tell!
We’re looking for solo or group musicians, magicians, dancers, filmmakers, actors, comedians, poets, storytellers, Ted-ish talkers, visual artists, crafters, animal trainers… We mean EVERY kind of talent! (Yes, being a good audience member counts as a talent.) Then we’ll put all the pieces together into one phantasmagorical experience.

I may have had a little too much time on my hands visiting family over Thanksgiving… but that’s how legends are born.

Happy Fun Time at the (IndyFringe) Complex

IndyFringe ComedySportz - 721 Massachusetts Avenue - Adult $15, Senior Citizen/Student $12, Under 12 $10

Captain Ambivalent went to sleep in 2016 and woke up in this underground complex full of secret mutants and traitors controlled by an insane computer with no idea how we got there! And now, he’s been assigned to explain it all in song to you, the heroic survivors of the amnesia gas incident on level 12. Report to your re-education pods for a sidesplitting musical history of the future, the eighties, student debt, unintended consequences, and being replaced by a robot.

NOTE: Food and drink service available during each show!
