The Fiascoholics present a new comedy play set after a catastrophic nuclear war. Five wildly mismatched survivors — a LadBible-loving geezer, a pretentious C-List actor, a sadomasochist Wotsit-lover, an overbearing faux-liberal billionaire, and a Welsh boy-scout leader — find themselves confined together in a bunker. With communications down and supplies dwindling, a deadly debate breaks out over who gets thrown out. To complicate matters, two of them are claiming to be the same person. Running 45 minutes, this show carries strong language, scenes of violence, and potentially distressing themes.
Why see this show?
A sharp, chaotic comedy about what happens when society's most unbearable types are forced to survive together. The premise is deliciously absurd, and the question of who gets ejected gives it a real comic edge.
