Charming Disaster’s Musical Underworld Tour offers an intimate, playfully dark cabaret experience that is part concert, part vaudeville act, as the goth-folk duo perform original songs that explore myth, monsters, and mortality. This show invites audience members beyond the river Styx…and promises to get everyone back to the land of the living before it’s too late. Mysterious onstage rituals may ensue.

Charming Disaster is a goth-folk musical duo based in Brooklyn, NY, formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write playfully dark songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, science, and the occult. 

Charming Disaster’s music has been featured on the podcast Welcome to Night Vale, they have toured the United States and Europe, and have opened for Rasputina, Voltaire, The Dresden Dolls. Recent appearances include Joe's Pub at the Public Theatre in NYC, the Rochester Fringe Festival, Philadelphia’s Science History Institute, Cleveland's Wizbang Circus Theatre, and the Coney Island Sideshow stage.
