Jon Bennett in Fire in the Meth Lab
Friday October 14th, 7:30 pm
Run-time 1 hour, No intermission.
Dear Brother,
How’s jail? How many cigarettes does it cost for a picture of a naked lady? Are you getting really strong?
I’ve written a show about you, is that ok? You’re in jail so you can’t really say no.
Love from your little brother,
Jon
Renowned Australian storyteller Jon Bennett (NPR, Just For Laughs) tells the amazingly sordid and bizarre story of his brother’s life. In this one-man show, Bennett recounts his brother’s experiences with both charismatic hilarity and heart-warming, poignant reflection.
Fire in the Meth Lab tells of drug dealers, bikers, high-speed car chases, fights, crime, prison, exploding houses and even cancer. The show explores brotherly relationships and how siblings with the same upbringing can choose very separate paths.
“The deepest, most poetic hour you’ll spend. ★★★★” - Winnipeg Free Press (CAN)
“Funny, compelling, and surprising, Fire in the Meth Lab will have you laughing one minute and tearing up the next. ★★★★” - CBC (CAN) | Buy tickets |
