Dandy Darkly

This October 'New York City’s King of Halloween' (Out Magazine) makes his London Horror Festival debut with his Edinburgh Fringe smash. Prepare yourself for Dandy Darkly’s Myth Mouth!

Dandy’s latest show explores themes of religious extremism, chemical addiction and our contemporary worship of media technology via haunting, hysterical tales of a junkie Persephone, space pooch Laika, virtual reality addiction and humanity's first artist, Cha-Cha the Caveman. Dandy Darkly cites folklorist Joseph Campbell, recent celebrity deaths and his childhood love of mythology as influences for crafting Dandy Darkly’s Myth Mouth!

Dandy regales his wondrous tales of horror and humanity alongside a nonstop soundscape of prerecorded music composed by long time collaborators Adam Tendler (piano), Rachel Blumberg (percussion), and Bryce Edwards (bass and guitar). The show is peppered with eclectic sound effects to create a truly immersive storytelling experience. Directed by Ian Borklund.
