Wes and Eugene's Cabinet of Wonders is a storied touring variety show that blends music, literature, and comedy into one memorable night. Originating around 2009 as a city-and-tour favorite spearheaded by John Wesley Harding (Wes) and Eugene Mirman, the show grew from intimate readings to a nationally recognized program, including an NPR adaptation that expanded its reach far beyond New York City. The Cabinet has hosted a roster of notable guests and has been a regular feature at venues like The Bell House and City Winery in NYC. The show continues to celebrate wit, storytelling, and live art, with new dates and performances announced for 2025 and 2026.
