Brandon Ogborn: A Cry for Help
One Man Comedy Show
August 8-9
at
7:30pm
Tickets
$20 in advance
$25 at the door
Comedian and playwright Brandon 'Bubba' Ogborn presents A Cry for Help, a one-man show about the absurdity of fatherhood, the weirdness of grief, and the chaos that shapes us. From being homeschooled in a cult to becoming the neighborhood clown, his an ill-advised "start marriage", to the summer he spent keeping a famous celebrity sober—and yes, there’s even a story about his vasectomy—Brandon’s life as a professional oversharer has been anything but ordinary. Now, as a stay-at-home dad navigating the loss of his own father, he blends sharp, heartfelt storytelling with video clips, slideshows, and just enough emotional damage to keep it funny. It’s a show about life, death, parenting, and why toddlers and Midwestern dads have more in common than you’d think.

Brace yourself for a hilarious behind-the-scenes romp in Noises Off!—a fast-paced, slapstick comedy that takes you inside the chaotic world of a disastrously bad theater production. This uproarious farce follows a group of actors struggling to perform a play, but things quickly go off the rails as missed cues, forgotten lines, and comedic misunderstandings take center stage. With a twist, the second act shows the same events from behind the scenes, revealing the true madness behind the curtain. Packed with physical comedy, witty dialogue, and endless surprises, Noises Off! is a side-splitting celebration of everything that can—and will—go wrong in live theater.
