Goth, guns and LSD. A feral coming of age from Albuquerque, New Mexico.

An electrifying new hour, diving headfirst into Shenoah‘s wild New Mexican roots with acid-fueled tales of drugs, murder, family, and survival.

‘One of the most fantastic displays of comedy theatre I’ve ever seen… weird and wonderful’
★★★★★ Times

Raised in an unconventional household shaped by military legacy, open queerness, addiction, and chaos, Shenoah grew up fast. School never stuck – by thirteen he was experimenting with LSD, punk and goth culture, skirting violence and chaos.

In Bloodlust Summertime, taboo subjects are twisted into sharp, fearless storytelling as he challenges social norms and dares audiences to test their limits… and enjoy the madness.
