Coulrophobia<\/strong>
\nWardrobe Theatre Bristol
\nSaturday 13 October 2018 at 8pm
\nTickets \u00a312<\/p>\n

I had a feeling about this show before it started. This is why we sat right at the back of the auditorium at a point as far away from the stage as possible. It meant we didn’t end up playing cardboard instruments, attending a cocktail party, having a cardboard haircut, eating at a cardboard restaurant, or taking part in a cardboard gunfight. Those who did find themselves dragged onto stage helped create a show that was so funny, my face ached from laughing.<\/p>\n

Coulrophobia is a show about two clowns Dik and Adam (performed by\u00a0Dik Downey and Adam Blake), who are trapped in a cardboard world. Imagine Dick and Dom for adults.<\/p>\n

They are held hostage by a sadistic and whimsical puppet master, created using the most sinister puppet I have ever seen.<\/p>\n

Clever direction from John Nicholson, kept the show unpredictable, comedically dark yet somehow on track.<\/p>\n

Comedy aside, it’s pretty impressive watching an entire auditorium happily play along being a stormy sea, pirates or even a squeaky orchestra.<\/p>\n

That wondrous world Slava Polunin created with white paper snow, Pickled Image has done with cardboard, but with added nightmare thrown in. It’s a winning combination.<\/p>\n

The show has finished at The Wardobe Theatre now, but for more information, visit:\u00a0http:\/\/pickledimage.co.uk\/coulrophobia\/<\/a><\/p>\n
