Google Infinite Monkey Theater Co.About the show
Did You Charge Your Phone for the End of the World? is a comedy theatre piece by Infinite Monkey Theater Co., performed at the Pickle Studio. Set in the year 2034, a city-demolishing asteroid is heading for Brooklyn and the government refuses to alert the public until a boutique advertising agency can devise a positive rebrand for the calamitous event. The show blends dark comedy with satire of corporate communication and political deflection. Suitable for adults aged 18 and over, it runs for 60 minutes.
Why see this show?
A sharp satirical premise — an ad agency tasked with putting a positive spin on an incoming asteroid — that lands squarely at the absurd end of comedy theatre. If you want something funny with a genuine idea behind it, this delivers.
