About Pablo Lechuga
Elephant in the Room is a comedy show by Pablo Lechuga that takes Babar — the elephant king from the much-loved childhood cartoon — as its unlikely subject. Babar is almost 94 years old and, it turns out, has a drinking problem. The show also grapples with modern criticism that his stories carry colonialist undertones. Lechuga invites the audience to examine this beloved character afresh, joined by two additional guests. The show includes audience participation and strong language, and is strictly for adults.
Why see this show?
A sharp, funny premise that asks real questions through the absurd lens of a children's cartoon elephant. Pablo Lechuga brings wit and warmth to some genuinely thorny territory, with extra guests to keep things lively.
