Inspired by traditional country variety shows like the Grand Ole Opry, the Cosmic Country Showcase offers a unique live entertainment experience with an extraterrestrial-psychedelic twist.

A diverse array of guest vocalists—who may not typically perform country music—collaborate with the house band to present captivating covers of country classics. Between musical performances, the show's host, country crooner Andrew Sa, and anti-host, comedian Mary Williamson, facilitate comedic segments that add an element of chaos to carry the audience through the night. The finale is a cosmic country headliner performing an original set, the likes of which have welcomed Dougie Poole, Lavender Country, Esther Rose, and Lizzie No.

The ethos of the show is to expect the unexpected and feel the beaming support and surprise from the audience whom, after years of consistent support, know how to lean in for an other-worldly ride. It's the only show where you can find budding talent singing a duet two-person horse costume while a Sasquatch steals the spotlight with an unexpected country twist on Bob Seger's "Night Moves."

Join us as we travel through a wild night of strange and exciting music and comedy, with an audience dressed for adventure and immersed in the boundless frontier of the Cosmic Country.
