David Mills: STAY LOST

David Mills is going comically dark in his newest subversive show, “STAY LOST.” Inspired by the explosive 1990’s New York solo performance scene with echoes of Bogosian, Bernhart, Goldberg, and art star Penny Arcade, “STAY LOST” is a mash-up of storytelling, stand-up, and cabaret - featuring boldly comedic monologues and surprisingly provocative song interpretations from the Blues to the classic American songbook, gospel, and spooky folk songs. Featuring Jody Shelton on piano. Mills explores uproarious yet uncomfortable themes of contemporary life – broken dreams, disappearing freedoms, casual violence and the tyranny of empty social media culture. All come in for ruthless skewering by Mills’ signature, coruscating wit. His own flaws – shared by so many of his gay contemporaries – receive the harshest critique of all, a well-deserved, rip-roaring roasting just as Gen X assumes cultural dominance.
