About this show
Oh look! Here comes the mildest man imaginable. Paulette stumbles into a room full of strangers and doesn't know whether to panic or mingle... so he does both, for 60 minutes. A perfect evening for anyone who wants to scream at a polite person. 2025 Pick of the Fringe (Mervyn Stutter). Winner: 2025 Fringie Award (Philadelphia Fringe). 'Utterly ridiculous... brilliantly performed...laugh-out-loud delirium' ½ (DCTheaterArts.org). 'For this hour, just say yes to the madness' (TheComicsComic.com).
