Is he man? Or is he banana? The Cavendish banana is stuck in a shipping box, with only his sexy, more flavorful cousin Gros Michel to help him escape. But does the Cavendish even want to leave? Stand-up, physical comedy, magic, striptease and more in this OffFest-nominated “comedic tour de force” (The Interrobang), a solo absurdist clown show exploring themes of isolation, denial, and human connection, using comedy as a tool to process painful realizations and truths. BANANA arrives at Philly Fringe fresh off an award-winning run at PortFringe (Achievement in Performance, Patron’s Pick) and a successful run at Edinburgh, listed on the Interrobang’s “Top Comedy Picks of 2023” and The List’s “Clowns to Watch Out For.”

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
