Breaking the 5th Wall
BATS THEATRE
Breaking the 5th Wall
By Josh
Samuels
Directed by Merrilee McCoy
WARNING: THIS
SHOW WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
Breaking the 5th Wall is a Monty
Python-esque sketch based piece that questions,
investigates, probes and exposes comedy.
"What is
funny . . . and why?"
If you are looking for an
absurd, fast-paced flow of consciousness, slap-stick
pastiche of comedy that you can bring your Gran to –
Breaking the 5th Wall is the show for you!
Loosely
based on the character-driven, ‘absurdity of daily life’
work of Python and epic mythology studies of philosopher
Joseph Campbell, Breaking the 5th Wall wants to engage and
entertain the audience in the possibilities of, rather than
the answers to this question of
‘comedy’.
“Breaking the 5th Wall is the
thinking-persons’ comedy, if you can think this show is
for you! Oh, gosh, that doesn’t sound nice…umm… If
you’ve ever had a thought in your entire life…no,
that’s just the same thing again… *Sigh* Please, just
come and see the show. You might laugh…” Josh Samuels,
Writer-Performer and former Chairman of the New Zealand
Society of Professional Quote Writing.
So open your
mind and set it free. If it comes back, you’ll know it’s
yours to keep.
