About David Hoskin
David Hoskin presents two works-in-progress at the Big Yurt. The first, Little Bit Horrible. Little Bit Good, is a clown-mime show built around things going wrong. The second, Death Clock, follows a clock mechanic struggling to keep time as a countdown begins, uncovering strange and surreal worlds within a town clock — with the audience deciding how the story ends. Both pieces combine physical comedy with audience participation. The show is free and runs for 60 minutes.
Why see this show?
Two inventive physical comedy pieces for the price of nothing. Death Clock hands narrative control to the audience, so no two performances end the same way — reason enough to show up.
