Your favorite Disney tunes get a perverted makeover in this new raunchy cabaret comedy.
Friday, June 23, 2023 at Laurie Beechman Theatre
Mickey's Uncut Hits: A Raunchy Cabaret is a make-you-laugh-out-loud, sex-positive comedy-cabaret show. Featuring parody versions of classic Disney hits, your favorite childhood melodies have been re-imagineered into an entire soundtrack of salacious XXX songs. Dirty jokes, sexy singalongs & happy endings are guaranteed!
Conceived and written by writing and comedy team KAJOLE, Mickey’s Uncut Hits is not puritanical in any way. So, BE WARNED! Unless you are a prude, we promise a night of pure fun! Featuring songs like "The Circle Jerk Tonight" and "Booty is a Feast," audiences are sure to fall in love with – and hopefully get off with – these timeless tunes. And really, who doesn’t love Disney and a good dirty joke? Imagine an entire cabaret filled with both!

Joel Pietrzak (co-creator/writer/performer) is one half of the writing/comedy/hosting duo, KAJOEL. He is excited that he and Miss Kales are making their cabaret debut, as both a writers and performers, with the premiere of their new show, Mickey’s Greatest Hits: A Raunchy Cabaret. Joel attended the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he received a BFA in Drama. He has performed stand-up and sketch comedy (with sketch group Terrorbird) at several venues in New York City. He has also written sketches, jingles and parody songs for the currently-on-hiatus podcast Rodham Thoughts, a political/pop culture talk show created and hosted by KAJOEL. Thanks to his partner in parody (and many other things), Miss Kales! We did it, dude!
Miss Kales (co-creator/writer/performer) is the *better* half of the writing/comedy/hosting duo, KAJOEL. She is excited to be making her cabaret debut as a writer and performer in Mickey’s Greatest Hits: A Raunchy Cabaret. Miss Kales was co-host and producer of the currently-on-hiatus but hopefully soon-to-be-revived podcast Rodham Thoughts, for which she wrote original jingles and political parody songs. She holds a BA in feminist philosophy and Russian politics from New York University, and has a background in vocal music and studio art. Miss Kales would like to thank her creative partner, Joel (dude!), and everyone who believed in a small-town girl refusing to give up on those big city dreams #WhenYouWish
Leanne Troutman (co-creator/performer) is the pride of Buffalo, NY. Lies! (That’s Christine Baranski.) Leanne received a BFA from Niagara University, and she’s thrilled to be using it for something other than job interviews. Previous credits include three years as a contributing writer/performer with the Terrorbird sketch comedy troupe and getting typecast as a demon on the audio dramas Otherworldlies, and The Gray Area. Follow her on Instagram @tequileanne. She’s never posted on it and she thinks that’s beautiful.

He’s also trained at Stella Adler and Upright Citizens Brigade and performed sketch comedy at The PIT.
Janna Emig (performer) is a Film/TV assistant editor based in Brooklyn. When she was a kid, she and her friends used to cover the TV with blankets and make their parents watch them lip sync the entire movie of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
