So the StarKid Returns campaign ended this past Saturday. 6,110 backers raised $386,350 to help make a brand new season of live events and more! We couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who pledged and/or spread the word. And we can’t wait to make all these projects for you! Just to review, by helping this campaign become the huge success it was, you’ve ensured that StarKid will return with:

The Jangle Ball Tour - For the first time in over ten years, StarKid’s going on tour, and this one’s a holiday tour! Join us for a naughty & nice collection of StarKid tunes, featuring a first act of villain songs, and a second half that’s a full concert version of ‘VHS Christmas Carol!’ ‘The Jangle Ball Tour’ will run THIS DECEMBER through the east coast, midwest, and west coast. We’ll be stopping in Boston on Dec 2, Philadelphia on Dec 3, NYC on Dec 4, Chicago on Dec 8, Ann Arbor on Dec 11, LA on Dec 16, and more tour dates will be announced soon! Tickets for ‘The Jangle Ball’ go on sale November 1, with an exclusive backer presale on October 28.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die - Then, in February of 2023, go back to Hatchetfield for a new nightmare. ‘Nerdy Prudes Must Die’ is a teen-slasher-musical-comedy where the biggest losers at Hatchetfield High are being hunted by a supernatural bully with a grudge against nerds. The LIVE show will run in Los Angeles, CA, at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood, February 16-25, 2023. Then, as always, a recorded version of the show will be released on YouTube some time later. We’ll share information about live ticket sales as soon as it’s available!

StarKid Labs - In addition to the live shows, StarKid will be launching a host of experimental projects, designed to explore new mediums and feature new creative voices. The initial batch of SK Lab projects will include:

Sissy - An absurdist, one-act play reading written by Corey Lubowich and directed by Corey Dorris, about a modern, gay Sisyphus who is tasked with feeding endless training data to a machine learning algorithm.

This Title Is Permanent - A podcast created and hosted by Lauren Lopez, where each episode will feature a very special guest and segments like: “Explain It To Me As If I Am A Child,” “A FULL CRAB SALAD,” and “Hey How Are You Good Thanks Could I Just Get A Spinach Feta Wrap and Two Egg Bites To Go Please?… That’s It, Thank You”!

Space Baby -  A video, anthology series created and produced by Jaime Lyn Beatty & Curt Mega, wherein a telepathic, intergalactic infant will set out on a quest to unlock the mysteries of the universe by consuming short entertaining segments made by a diverse array of guest artists, from writers and directors, to animators and composers.  As all the SK Lab projects are experiments, we don’t have concrete timelines for when they’ll be released, but when we do, you’ll be the first to know. 

And in addition to all this, by reaching campaign stretch goals, you’ve also unlocked: the filming of ‘The Jangle Ball Tour’ (to be turned into a concert album & DVD), a YouTube release of ‘VHS Christmas Carol’ (coming soon), the “VIP POV Backstage Experience” (a digital, p.o.v. backstage tour/stage door encounter for BOTH ‘Jangle Ball’ and ‘Nerdy Prudes’), and the “SKLabumentary” (a featurette about the making of the three SK Labs projects).

That’s a lot of StarKid coming your way, and you’ve earned it! Again, we can’t thank you enough for your support. You’re what makes everything we do possible. Be sure to check back here, or on our YouTube channel, or one of our many social media accounts for continuing updates on all these projects (tour dates, ticket sales, casting news, release schedules, etc). The BackerKit campaign may be over, but the work’s just beginning! We’re excited to see you all soon, online AND onstage! STARKID’S BACK!!!

We're in the home stretch, with one more stretch goal!


That's right! If we hit $375K, we'll make a SKLabumentary featurette documenting the making of our 3 brand new SK Labs projects: Space Baby, Sissy, and This Title Is Permanent! They are all very new and different projects for us, so it's certain to be an interesting peek behind the curtain.

It's been an incredible campaign and we're so grateful for all of you who have come on board so far. So can we make this stretch goal happen??? We don't know, but we'll try(the StarKid motto)! Join our finale 18 hour livestream and find out!! 💜

Wow. Just wow. Less than two days away from the end of the campaign, and thus far you've managed to reach over $342,000 with over 5,450 backers!!! That's incredible. Words cannot express how grateful we all are. We can't wait to make these projects (the 'Jangle Ball' tour, 'Nerdy Prudes Must Die,' 'Space Baby,' the reading of 'Sissy,' and 'This Title Is Permanent') all the best they possibly can be. But before that happens, we've got one more event to finish off this campaign with a bang...


The 'STARKID RETURNS FINALE LIVESTREAM!' An 18 hour streaming marathon where we'll play games, answer questions, unlock fundraising benchmarks, and stay up all night to celebrate and countdown to the end of a very successful BackerKit campaign! It starts tomorrow night, Friday October 14 @ 9pm PT, and goes until the campaign ends on Saturday October 15 @ 3pm.

Since the stream's longing than 12 hours, we'll be splitting it into two parts. The first part starts tomorrow at 9pm PT on our YouTube channel, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mqg4sSfbOQ

And the second part starts at 4am PT on Saturday, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPeAh1dOJ6c

So tune in and join us as we end the campaign with a wild, sleep-deprived celebration. And help us get the campaign total up as high as possible before it's all over! Because remember, the more money we raise, the better all the projects can be. Thank you  so much for making the StarKid Returns season possible, and thanks for joining us over on YouTube tomorrow night! See you there!!!

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes! You had it coming! You’ve been good to Mama, so StarKid’s bringing that Jangle Ball dazzle dazzle to Reggies Chicago on December 8!

We're also thrilled to announce that Ali Gordon and Janaya Mahealani Jones will be joining us for select dates on the tour as well!

 
We’re excited for back for the deep dish 🍕,  the hot dogs 🌭, and the cool crowds! 😎 See you soon Chi-town!
