Second City veterans Jordan Armstrong and Kevin Matviw are back from the Edinburgh Fringe with a quick-witted musical comedy show that explores everything from libraries to a graveyard bash. “Melodic arrowheads fleck’d with the Flight of the Conchords” (Mumble Comedy). “Our bellies hurt from laughing” (Comedy Central UK).
NNNNN – NOW
- Cast: Jordan Armstrong, Kevin Matviw
Director: Shari Hollett
The funniest thing since sliced bread, Death Ray Cabaret’s high brow goofiness is written and performed by Matviw (The Carnegie Hall Show, Second City Tourco) and Armstrong (Ballet Creole, first female Musical Director – Second City Toronto Mainstage).
As regular headliners of Toronto Sketch Fest and the Big City Improv Festival, Death Ray Cabaret keeps audiences coming back for more with catchy melodies and quick-witted lyrics. “Our music explores everything from true stories about being adopted to an audience inspired R&B song.” Kevin says. “Plus, our relationship allows us to playfully mess with each other on stage. Jordan has an entire song that disses me, but there’s love there… I think.”
