Are you a Cultaholic? Then the Cult Master will see you now! In an election year filled with cults of all shapes and sizes, Steven Fales takes audiences on a journey through our cult-susceptible culture. Think of it as an entertaining TED Talk with original songs, parodies, monologues and stand-up as he leaves no cult untouched and takes no prisoners using his Cult Scale (0-6) and addressing his own personal experiences with OCD-Obsessive Cult Disorder. Leave your common sense at the door as you enter his outrageous cult of personality and perfection!.

Fales quips, "There's not a cult I haven't tried-or secretly wanted to! If it's not a cult I'll make it one. You can take the kid out of the cult but you can't take the cult out of the kid! It makes life very diffi-cult. 'I'd like to buy the world a cult...'"
