In the cool pews of St. Mathew’s Tavern, we escaped the Florida heat and humidity at this BYOV and sat impatiently waiting for Dandy Darkly’s Myth Mouth.
A masterfully woven blanket of various original stories as cacophonously told by a verbal ringmaster dressed as a clown like from an era of the New York club kids scene, think Leigh Bowery.
Through his cheeky storytelling, Darkly takes us through a journey with the first entertainer, a caveman named Chacha, telling tales of losing oneself in the world of technology, the “Real Housewife” that is Persephone and a puppy launched into outer space by the Russians during the great space race.
Spanning from the cautionary through the absurd, these twisted yet entertaining tales continuously tested the levels of my imagination.
