Traumageddon: The One-Man Musical
25 October & 8 November 2025
PIP Theatre, Milton
One man. One mic. One massive musical meltdown.
Following a darkly triumphant debut at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival, JD Jephson—The Gold Coast’s premier queer Māori adopted autistic cabaret prophet—returns with a fresh horror: music.
Armed with the voice of a broken angel and the spiritual authority of someone evicted from two different families, JD sings, seethes, spirals, and soars through the two most spectacularly stupid, severely soul scarring years of his life (so far) set to an original score of wildly inappropriate yet annoyingly catchy tunes.
That’s right: the one-man comedy musical about devastating personal trauma the world never knew it wanted. Until now.
From an imploding marriage and incurable diagnoses to rental nightmares and one very inconvenient death, JD turns chaos into catharsis, rage into rhyme, and entropy into something dangerously close to entertainment.
It’s harrowing. It’s hilarious. It’s healing… sort of.
Traumageddon: The Musical is a solo symphonic scream into the void, served with perfect pitch and poor judgement.
