Events - 8 Dec 17

Link & Pin presents Heads in the Cloud, the art of Jeffrey Butterworth.

A seemingly normal life with a normal upbringing, education, job, family, and life at home, is usually about 50% different than what it looks like. This is Jeffrey Butterworth; a 37-year old advertising creative director, husband, father of three, and lifelong lover of the normal life in a perfect pink cloud.

Jeffrey’s new show, “Heads in the Cloud,” takes on what a seemingly normal existence can yield, not shying away from sex-crazed middle-aged men, housewives avoiding the sex-crazed middle-aged men, and cats with boobs. The journey continues into nostalgia, flatulence, and a hearty dose of immaturity, all wrapped in a style he describes lying “somewhere between Raymond Pettibon and The Far Side.”

This is not your parents’ A Christmas Carol.

Rude Mechs invites you to create a new tradition of drunken revels by coming to play with us and a roomful of your soon-to-be best friends to create a fully produced A Christmas Carol. It’s Dickens’ holiday classic like it’s never been done before. The audience will perform all the parts, and sing all the songs.

Anyone among you could turn out to be the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Find out the true cause of Tiny Tim’s congenital wee-ness.
Drink a toast to a Scrooge in your own life.

And the production is also fully game-i-fied. Those not performing in A Karaoke Christmas Carol, will use their phones to capture photos of the Seven Christmas Miracles, including: A ghost kissing herself, indoor snow or Santa’s Surprise Appearance. The audience member with the best set of photos every night will win a rock solid fruitcake they will be able to pass down for generations.

A Karaoke Christmas Carol is available for private bookings on December 15, 16 and 17. Do it at your office, or your house, or your friend’s house! To book, email boxoffice@rudemechs.com.
