About the show
Joshua's Witnesses is a clown solo show by Joshua Bonnici, presented with PBH's Free Fringe at The Loft during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In this one-of-a-kind show, Brother Joshua is on trial and the audience — acting as the Elders of the kingdom hall — will decide his fate. Will Joshua fall back in line with Jehovah, or will he be exiled? A tell-all on one of America's oldest cults from an ex-Jehovah's Witness. Runs for 60 minutes and is free to attend. Suitable for audiences aged 18 and over, with warnings for audience participation, distressing themes, nudity, scenes of a sexual nature, strobe lighting, and strong language.
Why see this show?
A truly one-of-a-kind show that makes the audience the jury — part clown, part cult confessional. Joshua Bonnici's insider perspective on Jehovah's Witnesses gives the humour genuine weight and the trial format keeps the tension alive throughout.
