Fred Strangebone Performs Comedy...
Theatre in the Bin
Fred Strangebone is all alone, performing a comedy show for the first time without other characters. An unsettled clown in a society that rejects or more often abuses him, Fred draws audiences into his weird world with a unique style of deadpan, creeping comedy. Master of the uncomfortable silence, Fred uses satire, poetry and physical humour along with the bizarre jokes inspired by his peculiar life and history. A performance by Fred Strangebone is an experience you won’t forget…no matter how hard you try.
