Description

In this non-stop series of wordless comedy sketches, Hank Curry embarks on a picaresque journey through the pitfalls and pratfalls of modern life by trying on several unique identities, each with their own hilarious obstacles. Run away and join the circus of modern society with the 'ridiculously talented Hank Curry' (DCTheaterArts.org) in a show that is 'a joy to behold' (AllAboutSolo.com). A Short History of Fun is adapted from Curry's show Confusion, performed off-Broadway in the United Solo Festival in 2022 and in the Rochester Fringe Festival in 2023.
