Breaking the 5th Wall

BATS THEATRE

Breaking the 5th Wall
By Josh Samuels
Directed by Merrilee McCoy
 
WARNING: THIS SHOW WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!

Breaking the 5th Wall is a Monty Python-esque sketch based piece that questions, investigates, probes and exposes comedy.
 
"What is funny . . . and why?"
 
If you are looking for an absurd, fast-paced flow of consciousness, slap-stick pastiche of comedy that you can bring your Gran to – Breaking the 5th Wall is the show for you!
 
Loosely based on the character-driven, ‘absurdity of daily life’ work of Python and epic mythology studies of philosopher Joseph Campbell, Breaking the 5th Wall wants to engage and entertain the audience in the possibilities of, rather than the answers to this question of ‘comedy’.
 
“Breaking the 5th Wall is the thinking-persons’ comedy, if you can think this show is for you!  Oh, gosh, that doesn’t sound nice…umm… If you’ve ever had a thought in your entire life…no, that’s just the same thing again… *Sigh* Please, just come and see the show.  You might laugh…” Josh Samuels, Writer-Performer and former Chairman of the New Zealand Society of Professional Quote Writing.
 
So open your mind and set it free. If it comes back, you’ll know it’s yours to keep.
