'When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. And as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me." And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"' (Matthew 26:20). As booed on America's Got Talent.

About Reuben Solo

Reuben Solo presents an absurdist comedy show structured around a biblical question: at the Last Supper, when Jesus told his disciples one of them would betray him, each asked in turn, "Is it I, Lord?" The show has earned audience participation warnings and the Edinburgh Fringe distinction of having been booed on America's Got Talent. An hour of comedy, acrobatics and absurdism performed at Just the Fancy Room for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

Reuben Solo starts from scripture and ends somewhere entirely his own. Booed on America's Got Talent, apparently offering almost no actual content, this is comedy that resists easy description — which is probably the point.
