This unique production flips the Dark Knight narrative on its head by putting Batman on trial. Watch as iconic characters like the Joker, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Riddler, Poison Ivy, and Bane come to life, questioning who the true villain really is. Expect a night filled with laughter, chaos, and enough clever penal system puns to keep you entertained!

This uproarious cabaret is a hilarious and irreverent lampooning of the current political landscape, starring and produced by Denver's Drag and Burlesque Virtuoso Enzo Benzo, the master of ceremonies, alongside a talented cast of multi-faceted performers.
