With: Catherine Gillard and Nancy Walsh

"What's exciting about this fierce and ragged show is the way in which it tries to shake up theatrical form… timely, disturbing, and so well worked out in the best of Clancy's writing - that the show is impossible to resist, and it slices down to the hidden reality of the way we live now, in a way that makes the rest of our theatrical world seem pallid, and a little short of the courage it takes to face a terrible truth."
     -Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman

The Apocalyptic Road Show, a contemporary, comic, profane cabaret celebrating the end of the world, is a transatlantic collaboration between The Occasional Cabaret (Edinburgh) and Clancy Productions (New York). Join your hosts Gdjet and Lulu and their mysterious musical companion as they guide you through the coming apocalypse and bid a fond farewell to the late, great, damned and doomed human race.

The Occasional Cabaret is the latest incarnation of Peter Clerke and Catherine Gillard of the renowned Scottish touring company benchtours.

Clancy Productions is a New York-based production and touring company specializing in bare-bones, intellectually engaging new American theater. Joined by Tim Brinkhurst, (aka Tim London formerly, of the pop group Soho) they have created The Apocalyptic Road Show, a comic, profane cabaret celebrating the end of the world. Written by OBIE award-winning Clancy, directed by Clerke and performed by Gillard and Walsh with original music by Brinkhurst, the Road Show opened at the Tron Theater in Glasgow in October, 2011 and went on to tour Scotland.
