Fowl Play Bouffon Cabaret Play
By Noah Bremer and Jason Ballweber
The Secret is Out (Sort Of)...
Last night, behind the doors of our little-known speakeasy, The Falcon’s Teat, something went monumentally wrong. The crime? Disorganized. The motive? Crypto, NFTs, and a whole lot of revenge.
To protect all innocent parties we can't publicly divulge the caper that unfolded, so join us at the speakeasy to find out because the staff is ready to spill the mar“tea”ni.
A mystery told by idiots full of sound and funny. The Fowl Play Bouffon Cabaret Play is...Like Maltese Falcon performed by Muppets…
Like Knives Out with clowns…
Like Clue without dinner.
What to expect:
The Story: A hilarious, fast-paced retelling of a night gone horribly wrong.
The Vibe: A relaxed speakeasy atmosphere with a brilliant live band and special guests..
The Chaos: Over-the-top characters, absurd situations, and plenty of opportunities to drink, laugh, and sing along.
What do the Yakuza, Leprechauns and Techno Bros have in common?
