Solo Creature Double Feature: Two Hilarious Solo Shows in One Night at Church of Clown
Friday and Saturday Feb 16 & 17
Doors at 7:00pm, Show at 7:30pm
Two queer touring artists team up to present their solo shows on the same night! Come enjoy a night of entertainment like no other - a twisting meandering theatrical journey that spans the anatomical, the apocalyptic, and the whimsical. One ticket. Two shows. Catch them while you can!
First Show:
ANATOMICA - A Comedy About Meat, Bones, & The Skin You're In
(Amica Hunter, Portland, OR)
International Comedian & Weird-Lil’-Gremlin, Amica Hunter (of A Little Bit Off), GETS UNDER YOUR SKIN and CRUSHES YOUR FUNNY BONE in this hilarious, captivating, and sometimes-unsettling-comedy about skeletons, and the horrors of living in a body. ANATOMICA is an intimate, unpredictable exploration of pain, zoology, & collective imagination. Every animal has a skeleton – But which biological structural system is the BEST? With candidness and a comfortably casual tone, Amica reviews the three skeletal systems found in earthly organisms and discusses the limitations of each one. What would it be like to inhabit a body completely alien from our classic human form? A gloriously deranged Ted-Talk by a wanna-be-scientist clown school graduate.
Part stand-up, part storytelling, and part clown, ANATOMICA is an investigation of the inadequacies of different animal body models, and a celebration of the absurdity of being trapped in a body that is limited by pain, fatigue, and ultimately decay. But, you know, make it fun!
★★★★★
“Amica Hunter’s stand-up set disguised as a serious science lesson is like the mutant love child of Laurie Anderson and David Attenborough”
-The Edmonton Journal
Second Show:
RAT MAN HAPPY PLACE
(Bruce Ryan Costella, Orlando, FL)
A guided comedy tour through the happiest place on Earth, using only the power of garbage and imagination. Equal parts interactive storytelling, theme park satire and children’s theater for weird adults, RAT MAN HAPPY PLACE is a ride that’s as wild as it is fun. Written and performed by life long “Florida Man” and award-winning solo theatermaker Bruce Ryan Costella.
