Event
MCQUEEN at The Davis Square Theatre
While touring with Radiohead one fateful night in Miami, McQueen Adams impressed the band with an impersonation so fresh an idea was born. Adams has created a fusion of music, comedy and video, which parodies pop stars, movies and a variety of celebrities. Its a mashup of songs, impressions and sketches, and the materials ranges stretches from subjects as varied as the sounds of Daft Punk to the magic of the wizard Gandalf, with some Jason Statham, Matthew McConaughey and Coldplay along the way.
Transmitting a hi-tech audio-visual experience, co-created with Timothy Oakley of Phantogram fame, McQueen creates an incredibly unique new universe.
Its just brilliant! -THOM YORKE, RADIOHEAD
This show is mad funny! Dudes doing something crazy original, its going to be huge man! -DAVE CHAPPELLE
Move over, Mr. Yankovic
Comedian-producer McQueen Adams mixes music, comedy, celebrity impressions and screen projections, touching on everyone from Daft Punk to Vladimir Putin, Matthew McConaughey to Coldplay, in his show, which sold out for two straight weeks in London. Like Weird Al Yankovic, McQueen clearly loves pop music but likes to skewer it with nerdy parodies. His anthem on behalf of redheads everywhere, Ginger Corvette, makes you realize why Prince was sexy in the first place while vaguely turning you on to Conan OBrien in an uncomfortable, yet irresistible, way."
-PORTLAND TRIBUNE.
A McQueen show is similar to almost nothing, coming out of a shrinking left field to smack his spectators with a welded mass of comedic absurdity, electronica, voice-over videos and impersonations. By the time the bewilderment settles, theres the feeling that it was either a hilarious hallucination caused by a YouTube overdose, or a smartly veiled jab at the current state of American culture washing over you. And its exactly that kind of fuzzy understanding of McQueen that has left audiences salivating for more
