A show so funny it hurts* (* the artists) Art is pain. Pain is art. Two “definitely not masochistic” artists take on the challenge of a lifetime: to create musical comedy with feeling—while feeling the real pain of electrocution. In what may be their worst idea yet, veteran musical improvisers Lee Apsey (‘CSI: Crime Scene Improvisation,’ ‘Your Flaws: The Improvised Musical’) and Jayda Fogel (‘Bird & Tax Collector,’ ‘¡Horario Estelar!’) weave hilarious and sincere songs, sketches, and stories with the inspiration of the audience and the threat of being shocked, shackled, dunked, and beaten with a stick. You’ll be shocked, and so will the players—literally. “Astonishingly funny… brilliant concept.” ★★★★★ GJD REVIEWS “Apsey and Fogel turn painful displays into some of the funniest improvised comedy you can find. You will be begging for more, and more, and more.” FRINGE REVIEW “A very clever show by two outrageously intelligent and talented performers.” THEATREVIEW Artist Accolades: WINNER – The Comedy Award – Colchester Fringe 2024 WINNER – Best Improv/Musical – Leicester Comedy Festival 2023 NOMINATED – Simply the Best – Gothenburg Fringe 2024 NOMINATED – Most Innovative Work – New Zealand Fringe 2026
