This week, Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop tinker with the boundaries of science, spirits, and sheer absurdity. In Weird History, they revisit Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg’s explosive plumbing mishap—a cautionary tale of invention meeting indignity. Then it’s time for Cursed Cocktails, featuring the disturbingly decadent Monkey Gland—a drink born from mad science and questionable anatomy. Plus: fake adverts for steam-powered sock sorters and doomed musical ice spectacles.

WARNING! This show is for adults. We drink cocktails, have potty mouths and, at least, one of us was raised by wolves.

The Clockwork Cabaret is a production of Agony Aunt Studios. Featuring that darling DJ Duo, Lady Attercop and Emmett Davenport. Our theme music is made especially for us by Kyle O’Door.
