FRIGID Nightcap, the East Village’s weirdest and wildest late-night variety show, returns to Under St. Marks with SLOPOCALYPSE NOW — A Human-Made Variety Show. In a world increasingly flooded with AI slop, dead-eyed content, fake grandeur, culture-war moral panic, and gold-plated authoritarian nonsense, FRIGID Nightcap is gathering actual live humans in an actual basement to make actual weirdness. 

Hosted and produced by Edward Gibbons-Brown, this month’s lineup includes Glenn Blurton with an AI/Luddite clowning performance involving old technology and a possibly dysfunctional machine; Margo Polo with Rouxl & Lucy in a queer drag/burlesque response to Catholic guilt, religious trauma, and right-wing Christian nationalism; Britt performing the original song “Dead Internet Theory” with live vocals, dance, and video; The Strange Girlzz; and Nightcap OpenStage. 

Expect comedy, drag, burlesque, clown, music, performance art, audience interaction, and handmade chaos no algorithm can replace.
