A sampler of multimedia comedy shows from Projectorfest 2026
Projectorfest returns to Caveat May 25-30 for the 4th annual celebration of multimedia comedy shows! Before the festival opens, catch a glimpse of what performers have in store. Featuring selections from shows by: Ben Lillie, Gillian Gurganus, Kevin McNulty, The Better Binness Bros, Aran Abilock Clemmons, Lucy Cao, and Blake Ung.
Jargon - Ben Lillie
Jargon is a terrible blight on communication, understanding, and clarity. It's also hilarious and wonderful. Ben Lillie takes us on a journey through the 10 best pieces of academic jargon, from The Mohorovičić Discontinuity to Deus Ex Machina, and beyond. Come see how the language we use has shaped our view of the world and our place in it.
It's Complicated - Gillian Gurganus
Have you ever been canceled by your hometown? What about being catfished during your high school production of Aladdin Junior? Beautiful comedian Gillian Gurganus sure has - and only one thing is to blame: Facebook! Through incredible comedic timing, sharp writing, and yes, ALL the screenshots, It's Complicated… proves that everything you learned watching The Social Network is right - Mark Zuckerberg ruins lives!
My Life in Charts - Kevin McNulty
A data analyst uses charts to prove how he peaked in kindergarten, that his wife is more attractive than him, that f****ing around and finding out is typically a non-linear relationship, and most of all that a charts can be a top 6 ingredient in the magic of live theater.
The Better Binness Bros Save America
Cash Cassius and Barry Baller are binness-betterin' brothers from different binness-betterin' mothers. These guys know everything there is to know about binness, but they need a little help on the other stuff. Join their mission to get better food, make new money, and overthrow the government.
Aran Plays a Game with You - Aran Abilock Clemmons
A new challenger has arrived. It's… you?! Join comedian and amateur game designer Aran Abilock Clemmons as he guides audience volunteers through a series of original video games designed to make you laugh, cry (of laughter), and laugh again.
Regulate This - Lucy Cao
A hyper-dysregulated first-gen Chinese American from North Carolina learns how to shoot a gun in NYC (she's progressive, don't worry). From cotillion to the gun range, Lucy Cao is a young woman ready to feel in control and answer the question: is shooting a gun just like it looks in the movies?
Doomscroll - Blake Ung
In Doomscroll, Blake must do whatever the projector says, and the audience has the clicker. Just like on Reels or TikTok, the audience can skip past jokes they don't like or they can go back to previous slides and make him do it again.
