Now in it’s third year of touring after selling out every performance at the 2024 Capital Fringe Festival and being named Best of the Fringe by DCTheatreArts.org, the darkly satirical musical revue Tom Lehrer Is Alive and Well and Has Given Away All Rights to His Music is still on the road.

The acclaimed show—created and performed by Andrew Lloyd Baughman—uses a delightfully twisted framing device: Baughman appears as Professor Charles Chucklenut (shook-el-nau), a deranged academic defending a dissertation on Lehrer’s ongoing relevance in our current age of absurdity. Featuring nearly 20 of Lehrer’s iconic songs—like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, National Brotherhood Week, I Wanna Go Back to Dixie, and The Masochism Tango—the show revives the satirical genius of Tom Lehrer with modern urgency and no apologies.

After its NYC debut at Don’t Tell Mama in November 2024, Cabaret Scenes called the production “highly successful,” praising Baughman as “a skilled interpreter” whose performance makes “even the darkest satire land with charm and precision.”

Sell out shows have included:

🎹 Chelsea Table + Stage – New York, NY

🎤 Nikki Lopez - Philadelphia, PA

📖 Jack Rabbits LIVE - Jacksonville, FL

🎸 Ottobar – Baltimore, MD
…and other cities!

This production is performed with minimal tech, maximal gallows humor, and the fully legal right to use Tom Lehrer’s music, now in the public domain. It’s cabaret for the end times—unplugged, unfiltered, and undeniably funny. ...

The Kate Bush Listening Party
21+
Sunday, March 29
2-4:30
Doors: 1 pm
@ottoupstairs

Held on the last Sunday of every month. Playing music by and that vibes with the delightful Kate Bush. Dancing is permitted. Eye contact is encouraged, but not necessary, when speaking your truth.

Further instruction as follows: A quiet space during the week for a respite from the world where you do not need to spend your hard earned dollar. We are only listening to records. Speak if you wish to each other or to your host, Kurt. Consider bringing something to talk about: A crochet project you are working on, a piece of art you admire, a relationship question, an existential crisis. Or nothing at all. Just bring yourself and sit quietly, listening to music.

☕ Tea offered while supplies last ☕
This month: Earl Grey with Lavender!
