The 2025 Jimmy Awards 24.06.2025 34:31

QUEER EMERGENCY! The Jimmy Awards took place and Marshal had to record himself (shock) talking about the quinessetnial theatrical award show. From misguided show choices from schools across the country (why are 16 year old's putting up Dreamgirls ?!) to a Falsettos performance that will knock your socks off, Marshal dives into the semi-janky, semi-profound ceremony highlighting high school musical...

The 2025 Tony Awards (w/ Caleb Jingo) 10.06.2025 53:29

We're topical again, diving into Sunday's Tony Awards hosted by Cynthia Erivo. (Erivo, for those unfamiliar, is most known for her work "Stand Up" from the film Harriet .) Guest Caleb Jingo joins to break down the performances, the wins, and the greater state of the theatrical landscape (Honestly? Impressive!) They chat about Audra's remarkable performance, but even when they stop, they continue t...

The 2011 Tony Awards (w/ Nic Nightingale) 03.06.2025 55:46

As if by magic [checks notes] or almost a full calendar year, Unceremoniously has returned! Marshal is joined by improviser Nic Nightingale to discuss the 2011 Tony Awards in all its Mormonism. Neil Patrick Harris sings, Brooke Shields curses, and Sutton Foster taps in a ceremony which provides us with one of the most essential Tony performances to ever exist. Elsewhere, they highlight the abunda...

The 2024 VMAs (w/ Meghan Rusin) 13.09.2024 48:40

Kids, we gotta a doozy. The MTV Video Music Awards (which is slowly dying due to climate change, I think) delivered a remarkably medicore ceremony on 9/11 and guest Meghan Rusin is here to discuss. Flanked by the dumbest set in award show history, the ceremony delivered only two "great" performances, so enjoy wading through the garbage to get to the good. Above all, the pair tries to get to the he...

The 2000 Tony Awards (w/ Mary Margaret Hogan) 27.08.2024 46:07

Jump back in time to the start of the new millenium and the celebration of the Broadway 1999-2000 season. Joined by the delightful Mary Margaret Hogan (credits: virtual audience member on The Drew Barrymore Show ), the duo discuss the shamefulness of Aida erasure, the way Rosie O'Donnell can light up a room, and the realization that everyone involved with this ceremony hated the shows they were tr...

The Paris 2024 Opening Ceremonies 17.08.2024 36:25

WOWEE-zowee, we're doing it. Another lonesome queer with a podcast, who woulda thunk?! For this debut episode, Marshal's covering the 2024 Paris Opening Ceremonies. With Celine on the Eiffel Tower, threesomes in libraries, and a hooded torch bearing husband to discuss, it feels like an appropriate first go at the format. Yes, Marshal's alone for the first episode. No, this won't continue. Please,...
