This week’s show splashes through danger, glamour, and suspiciously cheerful chaos as Emmett Davenport and guest Sassafras Davenport guide you from dance floors to dark alleys and back again. It’s a night of rising waters, sharp flowers, tainted love, and the unsettling realization that even the pretty things may be armed.
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.
