"Do you remember the first time?"

With his Kurt Cobain, Karaoke Cabaret, Ryan Good captures the intensity and emotion of the best rock concert you've ever been to, and turns it into huge scale experiential theatre.

Stupid and Contagious takes you back to a time when the purchase of a new CD was an experience: the excitement, the ritual, the importance when you played if for the first time. Those days, we listened more closely, and we all wept when Kurt Cobain died. We saw it happen on our TVs as he played Where Did You Sleep Last Night and as Kurt Loder told us of his daily troubles.

Stupid and Contagious reminds us that all our most important musicians don't live forever, but their music does. It is a celebration of the here and now, with a soundtrack of the anthems that we all know and love.

Stupid and Contagious is an interactive show, the audience becomes the band and the music videos in an immersive, visual experience. Using the music and images of the iconic bands to which we've all rocked out, Ryan creates an epic musical performance for the whole audience to experience "“ like singing along songs at a festival, moments and musical performance that we get to experience but a few times in our life.

It's like crawling inside your television while it plays 1994 MTV.

Ryan Good is an actor, writer, and director based in New Orleans. His previous solo show at the Adelaide Festival Fringe, Sex With Animals at the Garden of Unearthly Delights was nominated for a best Comedy award. Ryan was an ensemble member of the Neo-Futurists, whose ever-changing show Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind debuted at MICF to high critical acclaim in 2015. In 2015 Good's first full-length play premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

He also brings ménage and COSMONAUT to this year's fringe.
