David Mills: glamour + despair at Pangea

Comedy cabaret firebrand David Mills extends his Pangea residency through October with “glamour + despair” -  his critically acclaimed, screamingly jaded look at the apocalypse. Held over by popular demand following sell out shows in April, June and July, Mills is a bold showbiz iconoclast who combines sharply satirical stand-up with his singular take on classic nightclub cabaret to push both genres into innovative, uncharted territory. 

Joined by Jody Shelton (Comedy Central, HBO, Netflix) on the piano, Mills takes us on 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 much more.

Inspired by the sardonic wit of Paul Lynde, the musical audacity of Sandra Bernhard, and the casual elegance of Irish comedian Dave Allen, Mills turns his acidic humor on today’s harrowing headlines while skewering the unrelenting horrors of contemporary life. Mills mashes up his biting wit with surprising reinterpretations of forgotten 50s classics, undiscovered 70s soul bangers, 90s indie standards, and even something from the past decade.

“A remarkable show that demands to be seen! His wry, witheringly acerbic, and topical observations are constantly hilarious and often surprising.” - The Bistro Awards

“Acerbic wit, a biting sting, disregard for propriety, and a twisted bent. Hilarious and cynical in a doleful, angrily-neurotic, clever, kind of way.” - The Front Row Center

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