Podcast

Welcome to The Lost Cabaret, a sophisticated Jazz & Blues club that showcases absurd short stories and songs.

Stories sung and told from the Muffy Drake stage with a literary bent and a nod to Arts & Culture. Under its former name, the podcast won the Anthology category at the Minnesota WebFest as well as Platinum and Gold Medals at the National Audio Theatre Festivals.
The French have a saying: "Humor is the last bulwark before despair" (strange, yes, but it sounds better in French). If you can relate to that and enjoy what you hear, feel free to share with, well, one or two million of your closest friends...

"Jude" was the last word we heard from our sister podcast: Muffy Drake. In this episode, Muffy sets the table for Canary Canard to take center stage and the fate of Muffy Drake...

Please enjoy Episode #3, a random sampling of what once was or could be... or not to be.

Athena Indigo is not happy with the current world situation and sings from the Muffy Drake Lost Cabaret stage.

"The Orange Box" written & Narrated by Xavier Combe

This episode is one of 25 complete, fully soundscaped Cabaret episodes patiently perched in the Canary Canard Studios vault, waiting to take flight, up, up and away...

Unlike "Tashkent" and "TV Hack" featured on our homepage, “Dolores Said You’d Be Here” is one of our longer (18 min.) absurd flash fiction stories. As a standalone piece here, it gives you a further sample of our storytelling. We hope you enjoy it. If you do, bear in mind we have dozens of stories encapsulated in 25 episodes on the shelf, beckoning.
