ABOUT THE SHOW

Celebrity designer Mat Sanders’ fabulously designed existence implodes spectacularly when sudden betrayal triggers a hysterical, one-man meltdown. RUGBURN explores what happens when you’ve built a glittering life on a foundation of unresolved shame, and your perfectly upholstered defenses begin splitting at the seams.

Hollywood gossip, popper-fueled confessions, and impeccably appointed interiors collide in this fast-paced, filthy, deliciously deranged neo-vaudevillian spectacle.

From the highs of styling A-listers and hosting makeover TV to the lows of underground sleaze and spectacular self-destruction, watch Sanders shapeshift through the dazzling wreckage of his life as style spirals into chaos.

Brace yourself for RUGBURN.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Mat Sanders is a classically trained actor-turned celebrity interior designer who built a career crafting perfect spaces — while his own life quietly imploded. RUGBURN marks his return to the stage with a raw, funny, and design-drenched solo show about secrets, survival, and curated collapse.
