This week’s show drifts between reassurance and reckoning, pairing bittersweet standards with songs that circle aging, endings, and the uneasy comfort of momentum. Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop explore the space between “qué será, será” acceptance and the creeping sense that something important is ticking closer. It’s a late-night Cabaret episode for holding hands, taking stock, and deciding—again—how to keep going.
WARNING! This show is for adults. We drink cocktails, have potty mouths and, at least, one of us was raised by wolves.
The Clockwork Cabaret is a production of Agony Aunt Studios. Featuring that darling DJ Duo, Lady Attercop and Emmett Davenport. Our theme music is made especially for us by Kyle O’Door.
