David Mills: glamour + despair

Comedy cabaret firebrand and American ex-pat in London David Mills returns to NYC’s Pangea for the 5th time with a screamingly jaded look at the apocalypse in the world premiere of “glamour + despair.” Joined by Jody Shelton on the piano, Mills takes us on a scathing romp through the boneyard of contemporary culture, eviscerating everything from celebrity to casual sex, guns to social media, drugs to affirmations, and much more. Inspired by the sardonic wit of Paul Lynde, the musical audacity of Sandra Bernhard, and the casual elegance of Irish comedian Dave Allen, Mills turns his acidic humor on today’s harrowing headlines while skewering the unrelenting horrors of contemporary life. Mills mashes up his biting wit with surprising reinterpretations of forgotten 50s classics, undiscovered 70s soul bangers, 90s indie standards, and even something from the past decade.
