Pleasant Nightmare Entertainment
Pleasant Nightmare Entertainment is a group of magnificently mischievous nerdfolk produced and organized by the founder, Aniyah Lyszt. As an individual, Aniyah is the primary content provider for PNE, but as a group, these nerdy ne’er do wells joined forces to create one of the greatest live programming troupes on the East Coast convention circuit! Seasoned panelists, live performers, costume-makers and con staff pooled their talents and experience from years of convention attendance to bring you high quality content that’s sure to leave any audience wanting more! Whether your tastes are debaucherous and deviant, low key or somewhere in between, we have something to tickle your fancy.
You can learn more about our members and programming by finding us on Facebook, following us on Instagram and by visiting our website. Look for the Winking Spider and let us bring your nightmares to life in a most pleasant way!!!
