Bird & Tax Collector Welcome to the world of Bird & Tax Collector, the musical pandemic brainchild of Jayda (Bird) & Tom (produced and directed by Jayda Fogel).

United by a love of music that’s never before existed, Jayda (Bird) and Tom (Tax Collector) joined forces in the first week of our Global Pandemic and forming the experimental media collective "Bird & Tax Collector" which produces the musical improv show Talk Radio, the band Bird & Tax Collector, and the improvised telenovela ¡Horario Estelar! Talk Radio
Don’t touch that dial, it’s time to tune in

to Talk Radio! Inspired by a vast library of tunes that have never existed before (and will never be heard again), DJs Bird and Tax Collector will find just the right songs for you, their live studio audience. And just like any good Talk Radio show, this highly interactive musical show is built on a foundation of stories, characters, interviews, and good ole fashioned love of music.

¡Horario Estelar!
¡Passion! ¡Drama! ¡Deception! ¡Más pasión! That’s right, tune into ¡Horario Estelar! the brand new, never-before-seen, fully improvised madcap fusion of comedy, drama, culture, and language that reimagines Latin America’s soapiest and most pleasurable Prime Time creation, the Telenovela. Dive into a world of shocking secrets, nail-biting intrigue, star-crossed lovers, inconceivable plots, and more dastardly villains than you’ll know how to fall in love with (or throw off a cliff). It’s sexy, it’s empowering, it’s theatrical, and it will leave you on the edge of your seat and begging for more.

That's a wrap on a deliciously creepy performance of Ghost Town; we're so grateful to the for having us! The town of "Banofee" and its "single picket fence" were a ripe with the hungry souls of this long-dead town.

"Would you like me to tell you a story?"
"Shhh"

You can find us next in Dublin on November 15, where we will once again summon a new lost town, forgotten by time, full of restless ghosts.

******

Every town has its secrets. Whispers that live at night. Stories told in confidence. Little lies and unsaid truths that grow and twist and shape lives. Even in the most seemingly perfect town, no one is ever quite what they seem. Memory is questionable, and every interaction leaves a mark, a ghost of a reminder.

About Us
An experiment in light and immersion, Ghost Town invites the audience to witness the Lynchian remnants of a once beloved, long-dead place.
Created by Jayda Fogel ("Talk Radio," "¡Horario Estelar!"), this Amsterdam-based project was initially devised for the 2025 Ithaca Improv Festival. Featuring the incredible international improvisation talents of Sara de Sable ("The Dominoes Improvisation"), Peter More (co-founder of Amsterdam's easylaughs), Nirvi Maru ("Cliffs of Dover"), Florian Gerritsen ("The Unplanned Musical"), and with the musical direction of Tom Tollenaere ("Talk Radio," "RIOT").
