A lonely karaoke jockey is the sole survivor at the end of the world, and decides to go out singing.
A darkly hilarious, high-octane spectacle, where Nietzsche meets the Spice Girls, and the world ends in song.
Chanteuse, comedian, and chaos enthusiast Scout Durwood (MTV’s Mary + Jane) hailed as “brazen, brass” (Vogue), makes a powerhouse fringe debut packed with original songs, pop bangers, audience interaction, and existential musings.
This full-throttle celebration of life at the edge of the abyss asks the big question - is there time for one more song?
