Scott Thompson, aka ‘Buddy Cole’

Tuesday, May. 20th
Starting: 7:00 PM

Legendary comedian Scott Thompson from the ‘KIDS IN THE HALL’ performs his most famous character, lounge lizard ‘Buddy Cole,’ in ‘THE LAST GLORY HOLE,’ an evening of hilarious, incendiary monologues leading to an existential crisis where Buddy somehow discovers that he is a fictional character. The new show is funnier, sillier and yet somehow more dangerous and subversive than ever. Join Buddy in an intimate setting as he mixes up martinis and dishes the dirt on his fabulous globe-trotting life, all while reflecting on everything from the fractured state of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to what to do in the event of an alien invasion. If you like riotous, provocative, boundary pushing comedy, this is the show for you! You have the right to be offended.
