Richmond – Manhammer premiere at Byrd Theatre – May 17th – Tickets

RICHMOND – Manhammer: Rebirth of the Darkhorse Makes Its Raucous Premiere at The Byrd Theatre in Richmond, VA

MANHAMMER: Rebirth of the Darkhorse, a chaotic and unapologetic indie comedy about a washed-up rockstar chasing fame and making all the wrong choices, will have its premiere at The Byrd Theatre on Saturday, May 17th at 2:00 PM.

Set and shot over four years in Richmond by local filmmakers, MANHAMMER blends cringe comedy with gritty underground energy in a story that follows a once-famous musician turned small-time drug dealer trying to claw his way back to rock glory—with a little help (or sabotage) from his shady manager.

MANHAMMER captures the outsider spirit of RVA’s music and art scenes while delivering it on a plate of cringey humor. The show straddles the line between cringe comedy, rock satire, and fever dream.
