This event has a 2 item minimum.
Part bizarre history. Part science. All absurd.
Join award-winning weirdos Kat & Jethro Gilligan Toth as they dig up the strangest true stories you’ve never heard—and wish you hadn’t. From cursed pants to spontaneous human combustion, no oddity is too obscure, no fact too freakish. With their signature dark humor and infectious chemistry, this is not your average podcast taping. It's a strange trip... and you're invited.
Truth is stranger than fiction. And funnier, too.
The Box of Oddities: LIVE
A mind-bending comedy experience for the beautifully bizarre.
Step into the strange with Kat & Jethro Gilligan Toth, the married duo behind the chart-topping podcast The Box of Oddities, as they bring their award-winning weirdness to the stage. With over 35 million downloads and a devoted global fanbase, the show has become a cult favorite for lovers of the unusual, the hilarious, and the “wait...that’s actually real?!”
Each live performance is a journey through some of history’s strangest moments, science’s most baffling discoveries, and humanity’s greatest (and grossest) oddities. Kat and Jethro serve up real facts with razor-sharp wit and the chemistry of two people who are either soulmates or co-conspirators. (Possibly both.)
This isn’t just a podcast taping—it’s a fully immersive storytelling experience. Expect laughter, gasps, weird visuals, and just enough existential dread to keep things spicy.
If you love true crime but wish it had more haunted mannequins and medieval medical malpractice, this show is for you.
Come curious. Leave questioning everything.
