On The Road to Armageddon – Two Shows Only in SF this May 8 & 9!

April 19, 2026 by gherkin Leave a Comment

Grand Guignol meets Looney Tunes in a short clown play set at the end of the world? See it to believe it!

Long after the bombs have fallen in the AI-Resource wars, two individuals struggle to survive. Their hungers driving them to extreme ends, innocent young Jeb and the salacious Slugworth meet in a battle of (a lack of) wits to determine who will survive and whose hunger gets sated. See Bloodlust, Absurdity, Gun Play, and possibly a little Cannibalism in On The Road To Armageddon!

At the end of the world, two clowns explore the depths that their hungers will drive them to. Nick Dickson (Jeb) and Gherkin Picklewater (Slugworth) explore cartoonish violence, hunger, despair, and ukulele music in this short one-act play set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

With two special guest openers!

Peggy & Eli

Tickets available here:
May 8th and 9th – 8pm

Conversations from the Clown Conservatory!

Clowns talking about Clown – Check out our new documentary series Conversations from the Clown Conservatory!

The clown conservatory was America’s only year-plus professional clown training program. It flew like a mighty Phoenix, and in this series we sift through the memories of the directors, students, and instructors to get their insight on clown, the program, and its end.

In this episode, we discuss the definition of clown. What is it and why is it so important?
