"Un-Cabaret" began in 1990 as an alternative to vapid mainstream stand-up when Artist/Writer/Performance Artist-turned-Standup, Beth Lapides took comedy out of the comedy clubs - first to 'perfomance art' venues like the Women's Building and Highways, then to nightclubs like Luna Park and the Knitting Factory, and beyond to Lollapalooza, the Getty Museum, HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival, colleges, clubs and theaters across the country. Beth called the show "Un-Cabaret" because, in contrast to divisive lowbrow stand-up, it set out to be un-homophobic, un-xenophobic, and un-misogynistic. And also it didn't feature any singing or dancing.
Beth became the High Priestess of a revolution that reclaimed comedy as an art form, making it deep, meaningful, even transcendant, and influenced 'alternative comedy' shows in LA, NY, Austin and Toronto. Expanding beyond the Un-Cabaret, Beth and producing partner Greg Miller have developed other breakthrough live shows including "Say the Word" and "The Other Network", as well as producing new work by Julia Sweeney, Randy & Jason Sklar, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and others.
