Dandy Darkly is New York City's cult, cabaret sensation. He is a masterful and mesmerizing storyteller who has astounded audiences at festivals and theaters on both sides of the Atlantic. Dandy's delirious tales of sex and death shift seamlessly from bitchy to bittersweet, each revealing a surprisingly elegant critique on modern life. Themes of past shows have included misogyny, guns, gentrification and more.

Dandy Darkly's Myth Mouth! explores religious extremism, substance abuse and our contemporary worship of media technology via satiric tales concerning a junkie Persephone, Russian cosmopup Laika, virtual reality addiction and humanity's premiere popinjay, Cha-Cha the Caveman. Dandy Darkly cites folklorist Joseph Campbell, recent celebrity deaths, his childhood love of mythology and personal vices as influences for creating his latest show.

Dandy regales his hilarious tales of horror and humanity alongside a nonstop soundscape of prerecorded music composed by long time collaborators Adam Tendler (piano), Rachel Blumberg (percussion), and Bryce Edwards (guitar, bass). The show is peppered with eclectic sound effects to create a truly immersive storytelling experience. Ian Bjorklund returns as director.

Dandy Darkly's Myth Mouth! plays the 2017 Queerly Festival at the Kraine Theatre (85 East 4th Street) on June 27th at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at www.horsetrade.info.
