2022 Edinburgh Fringe
The Failure Cabaret
The Fremonts have been married ten years and have the therapy bills to prove it. In this dark comedy cabaret, Stephanie Dodd from Fremont, Nebraska (vocals / accordion) and Justin Badger from Fremont, California (vocals / guitar) use original music to tell their story: meeting in New York, performing on Broadway, accidentally moving to a pretentious mountain town and doing everything in their power to stay sane and married at the same time. This show was born when Executive Producer Chuck Porter declared: 'Hey kids, let's do a show!' after a few beers in a hotel bar.
