About the show
Elliot Wengler presents Jokemon, a comedic and chaotic history of the monster-hunting franchise with a joke for every Pokémon. The family-friendly stand-up show at The Lounge is free to attend and runs for 60 minutes. The show is suitable regardless of the audience's knowledge of Pokémon, and is full of puns, clowning, and chaos. Having previously toured the UK, USA, and Australia, the Malcolm Hardee Comic Originality Award-nominated show returns to the Fringe. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A free, family-friendly hour of puns and clowning built around the Pokémon franchise — suitable no matter how much or how little you know about the games, it is a genuinely inclusive comedy show that rewards curiosity as much as fandom.
