COLBERT Writer Aaron Nemo Brings SHITTY MOZART To Brooklyn
The performance will take place on Saturday, April 13.
Aaron Nemo will perform his one-man multimedia musical comedy show Shitty Mozart to Brooklyn Comedy Collective on Saturday, April 13. A staff writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Nemo is set to bring Shitty Mozart to The Gilded Balloon for a month-long run at Edinburgh Fringe this August.
They tried to clone Mozart, it went horribly wrong, and now we're stuck with the consequences: Shitty Mozart. With a cheap wig and a mess of musical gadgets, Shitty Mozart performs a dazzlingly chaotic one-man multimedia concerto about an artist struggling to live up to his own expectations. Featuring songs about a rat/pigeon orgy in the New York subway, which cultures are okay to mock (Swedish: yes, Jamaican: no), and his plot to kill the precedent (make sure you spell that right).
Terrified that the audience will realize he lacks the musical genius of his predecessor, Shitty Mozart shows off his own talents-playing instruments he's invented, performing duets with cartoons he drew, and even conducting a homemade laser light show-in a futile attempt to escape Wolfgang's shadow and make a name for himself.
"The show is a surprising blend of music, animation, and technological clownery," says Nemo. "I hope the it leaves the audience wondering How is he doing that? and Why would someone go through all that effort for one fart joke?"
Shitty Mozart is at Brooklyn Comedy Collective on Saturday, April 13 at 8:30pm. Tickets available for $15 at the button below.
