COMING THIS JUNE TO THE HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL!
A double feature of short clown plays about the end of the world!
Due to an Unforeseen Apocalypse…
Written & Performed by Gherkin Picklewater
In this one-man clown variety show, Gherkin Picklewater takes audiences on a wild trip to the final performance of humanity’s last-ever dinner show, taking place mid-apocalypse. Through clown, eccentric juggling, live music, escapology, stand-up comedy, burlesque, and existential dread, Gherkin does his damnedest to make sure the last show on earth is one to be remembered.
On The Road To Armageddon
Written & Performed by Gherkin Picklewater & Nick Dickson
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.
