About The ShOw
Join cult enthusiast Lisa VanArsdale for an immersive evening of exploring religious cults, why they happen, and what keeps them going. From creation to revelation and from celibacy to polygamy, Lisa recounts her intimate experiences with culty groups from around the world through storytelling, videos, and her personal collection of literature and artifacts. Follow your cultiosity and maybe have your very own crisis of faith along the way! Hallelujah!
*No virgins were sacrificed in the making of this show.
**Doors open early so that you can peruse all of Lisa’s culty artifacts that will be on display!
What People Are Saying:
“Heartfelt and Humorous”
“A great job of mixing serious with silly and empathy with spectacle”
“The Show only scratches the surface; she could do at least five sequels if she wanted to.”
“Really invited me to see the humanity in some groups I hadn’t realized I was othering in my mind”
“A survival guide for living in an age of confusion where charisma takes all.”
“Entertaining, educational, and erratic…in a good way. You’ll be begging for the second act.”
“One hell of a journey through the world’s smaller sects; a humorous but respectful take on the quirky cults that call this planet home. For now.”
“Interesting and informative and interjected with a lot of humor.”
“An answer to Bill Maher’s Religulous!”
“I mean, it wasn’t Hamilton, but yeah I really enjoyed it.”
About Lisa:
Lisa VanArsdale is a comedian, podcast host, and cult enthusiast whose love of culty groups and curiosity about the divine has taken her to holy sites all over the world. With years of visiting these groups, Lisa approaches the complexity of cults and the people inside these communities with tenderness and humor, sharing a side of humanity many outsiders don’t get to see.
Lisa has performed standup on three continents, but mostly in the Lehigh Valley, PA. She is also probably the only human to own both Mormon underwear and a Moonie crown and she’s obnoxiously proud of that.
