**Best Comedy: Edinburgh Horror Fest at Edinburgh Fringe**
**Audience Choice: Green Bay Fringe**

Darkness.
We’ve been told to fear it, to hide from it – It’s where the monsters and demons lurk…
Mothman says otherwise: It’s a time to dream, to think, to love – we must feed off of it!
Come. Join the Mothman. Follow him into the void and embrace the darkness. 

This show is performed mostly in the dark, lit by Mothman’s glowing red eyes.
It has has haze and frequent audience participation.

In this hour-long dark, interactive, alternative comedy, Mothman has arrived to devour the audience’s darknesses. However, when he discovers they aren’t fully attuned to the darkness, he decides to show them it’s power and leads them into the void. It doesn’t take long for the power of the void to overcome Mothman, trapping everyone inside. As they sink through the depths of the void, Mothman uses a variety of games and rituals to grapple with the internal and external darknesses that appear. In the end, the audience shows him the light, and he sacrifices himself to free the audience from the void, trapping himself there forever.
