This event is pure parody. So please don't come expecting Greg's poetry. Instead, he will offer a night of irreverent imitations, musical mirth, and salacious satire.

Think burly meets burlesque. Greg O'Connell will sing O'Connellised versions of each artist's hit songs. Sometimes in matching attire. But it's a solo show. So costume changes will be minimal. Anticipation is everything. Please anticipate antics. Not poetry. Not profundity. If you decide to purchase a ticket, you'll have the chance to see Greg O'Connell as you've never seen him before. Musical and merciless. Hammy and hilarious. You've been warned.
