Welcome to JoshuaKane.com

The official Homepage for Joshua Kane: One of New York's Top Solo Performers and Mentalists.

Have a little less space and a slightly smaller budget? Then perhaps a dramatic recital is the best choice for you. These shows have all of the theatricality and entertainment value of a full Joshua Kane Theatrical Experience, but they are a little smaller in scope and a little easier on the pocketbook — and perfect for a smaller, “second stage” space.

Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Terror

Take a left turn off the cliff of insanity as Kane performs dramatic readings from such tales as The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, Hop-Frog, The Masque of the Red Death and more! This performance is punctuated with lively anecdotes about the author and his swift descent into madness.

“Remember how much fun it was to be told tales of terror as a child? You can recapture that delight with an evening with Joshua Kane. He has revived the great tradition of stage storytelling. He needs no props, just a stream of good stories and his own considerable talent. I was astonished and enthralled and reinvigorated. You will be too.”—Ramsey Campbell, World Fantasy Award-winner; author of The Last Voice They Hear
A Date With the Devil
“Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.”—Oscar Wilde

Spend an evening with the most charismatic, endlessly fascinating character in the history of the human imagination. Hear him speak in his own words (as transcribed by Milton, The Bible, Shaw, Shakespeare, Kipling, Coleridge, Twain and others). Whoever thought evil could be such fun? Perfect for the coming Election Season!
