Description

Joy (Jessy Morner-Ritt) is the deranged, desperate owner of a dilapidated Bed and Breakfast. Together with her stalwart yet surly butler (Isabella Gerasole), the two navigate the misadventure and mayhem that lurks behind every crumbling balustrade. A marriage of outlandish outfits and larger-than-life slapstick will have the audience feel as though they're watching a cartoon come to life, just as they become pieces of furniture in Joy and Butler's salon.

This show was simply brilliant. A mix of physical theatre, slapstick, character comedy and audience participation. The use of the theatre space to emulate the setting was wonderfully clever, and the tone and style of the show, totally unique. At times surreal, hilarious, and touching, this was one of the very best things I saw at the Fringe this year.
These two performers are incredibly talented in many different ways, be sure to catch them at a future Fringe or wherever you can.

Absolutely LOVED this show. Brilliantly bizarre, wonderfully energetic, clever, laugh out loud, joyous fun. You need to see this show while it's in the UK!
