“Going to the chapel, and we're gonna get married”
Dearly beloved...
We are gathered here today to witness the love between Kat Robichaud and [redacted].
After 10 decadent years of music, madness, macabre and mayhem at Misfit Cabaret, we decided it was time to tie the knot. We've summoned original Misfits and bold new ones to take part in our latest revelry:
"Till Death Do Us Part"
Obviously, because this is Misfit Cabaret, this is not your garden-variety wedding…this is a fever dream of decadence, bawdiness, and damsels not in distress. Expect raucous chaos, devilish drag queens, nightmarish puppets, bedazzled burlesque babes, storytelling that is woven through original music, and a spectacle of love that lurches between sublime and spine-chilling.
An Unholy Union of Love and Lunacy
- Original songs and theatrical treats from Kat Robichaud and her band the Darling Misfits
- Ghoulish glamour from the cast, including Frankie Fictitious, Carnie Asada, Shadow Circus Creature Theater, Red Bone, Vanilla Meringue and more!
- Gothic romance meets riotous cabaret!
-After the wedding everyone is invited to stay for the reception and cake cutting
- A celebration of the bizarre, and the beautifully broken
Date: Thursday, September 12th
Location: Great American Music Hall, San Francisco
Time: 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM
Dress Code: Decadent, defiant, devilishly divine, dress for the wedding of the century!
Come for the vows. Stay forever.
“Till Death Do Us Part”
---
Misfit Cabaret is a splendiferous variety show centered around magical music with a rotating cast of eccentric performers. Each show is completely different—with changing themes such as the cult-filmed Cinephilia and the naughty nautical Whimsea. From burlesque to drag to circus to magic, you never know what you're going to see (or get yourself into)! For each new Misfit Cabaret, emcee Kat Robichaud writes two (sometimes three or four) original songs keeping with the theme of the evening and plays them with her band, The Darling Misfits, as well as a special medley to kick off the evening and welcome in the spirits of San Francisco's saucy past. There's comedy, romance, and bawdiness around every corner and not a dull moment or dry eye in the house. So come and play with us and befriend a local underground miscreant. Who knows! They might whisper to you when the next secret Misfit Cabaret is!
“Cabaret performer Kat Robichaud combines a renegade aesthetic, a wicked sense of humor and a rock star’s singed timbre.”- SF Chronicle
“...a deliciously eclectic medley of performers”- SF Chronicle
“As the glitter-rock diva who famously once crowd-surfed to AWOLNATION’s ‘Sail’ on live TV, Kat Robichaud made history as one of the most electric and fearless Voice contestants of all time. But that iconic performance provided a mere glimpse of her dramatic talents, as the San Francisco theater maverick has since gone on to stage her own successful Bowie- and Burton-inspired rock operas -- still performing on her own terms, but showcasing her true voice.” – Yahoo Entertainment
“An exorcise in comic terror that will leave your head spinning.”- SF Weekly
“San Francisco’s weird artists and their possibly even weirder audiences are alive and thriving.”- SF Chronicle
Your hostess with the mostess, Kat Robichaud prowls around the stage- a hellcat unleashed, furious to have been confined in southern 90s suburbia stasis. With various wigs and rock warrior whimsy, she shrieks catharsis that at once stops and rushes the blood of anyone within earshot of her siren song. Part Janis, part Bette, part Mama Cass- Robichaud writes murder ballads, broadway pop songs about anxiety, and neo-wave rock and roll on anything from alien sex to gaslighting puppeteers. Existing in many forms- sometimes host of her hit musical variety show Misfit Cabaret, sometimes drag artist twirling her pearls in the spotlight of gay sex clubs, Robichaud feels most at home among her fellow queerdos, rattling off current hyperfixations and sipping whiskey with the stunning underground Bay Area artists who survived the gorging promises of corporations in late-stage capitolism. She's a hell of a show woman and has had 20 years of stage time to prove it. It doesn't matter if she's singing in a southern chain chicken joint, a 1,500 seat theater in Times Square, a painted plywood speakeasy, or in front of 15 million people watching her on The Voice- she will get your attention and hold it like she'll die if she chooses to let go. And you hope she never will.
