Marcel Lucont's Whine List

September 18th at 9:00pm

The multi-award-deserving deadpan Frenchman brings back his acclaimed interactive show, in which he serves up a unique Whine List from the audience's past woes and misdemeanors. A kind of group therapy experience, but one where everybody will probably leave more depressed. As seen on BBC1's "The John Bishop Show," Comedy Central's "Live at The Comedy Store," and Sky Atlantic's "Set List."

Silent Disco

September 18th at 11:00pm

The glamorous Spiegeltent will be filled once again with a giant dance party. But with a twist: you don’t hear a sound until you slip on a set of headphones. Wait! Is that YMCA on one channel, Calvin Harris on the second, and David Guetta on the third? A three-channel system and live DJs let you switch up your music (and mood) at the touch of a button. Hugely popular at Coachella and Burning Man, it’s an unforgettable experience you have to see—and not hear—to believe!
