— About THE LONELY SPIRITS VARIETY HOUR —
Neville Umbrellaman is a verbose, velvet-voiced intellectual who hosts a late-night radio show from his parents’ garage. The alter ego of Rabindranath Chakraborty, Umbrellaman is deeply committed to the program, a labour of love and fantastical fancy that masks deeper, more tragic truths. Luckily, he’s got plenty of eccentric guests to help him out, from folk singer Kenneth Wong to Chakraborty’s secret crush, Sabrina D’Angelo. But is anybody tuning in? THE LONELY SPIRITS VARIETY HOUR is a hilarious, wonderfully weird delight.
