One chaotic night. Eight desperate performers. One delusional host. And the promise that a showbiz legend might appear.

Jack Ramp’s Unfortunate Cabaret, An Unoriginal Musical Comedy is set in a somewhat dingy New York theater. A group of performers bravely—or foolishly—take the stage to sing for Jack Ramp, the host: a talent-challenged egomaniac with a microphone. They endure his withering commentary for one reason only: Jack promises they’ll be seen by his sister, Patti Peters—a universally adored, showbiz icon.

Jack can’t resist showing everyone “how it should be done,” launching into his own disastrous numbers, complete with surprises, and escalating chaos. Then—shockingly—Patti actually shows up, performing one of her signature numbers and turning the room upside down.

The music is Pop, some Broadway with re-written lyrics, standards and even opera!
