FOUNTAIN of JOY

There’s a drinking water fountain with an ‘Out of Order’ sign hanging on it.

A lanky, clumsy plumber arrives carrying a clatter of pipes and equipment, he goes to fix the fountain. Suddenly water explodes in his face, with that chaos and craic quickly follow, with slapstick and comedy falling over themselves to catch up.

Whoopee cushions appear out of his tool box instead of spanners, creating havoc, which combine with pipes to create classical music on the worlds first One Man Whoopee Cushion Organ.

Physical theatre, object manipulation and absurd live music all collide with contemporary clown, culminating in an unforgettable stunt of stupidity- A high dive onto a giant whoopee cushion which expands out from the drinking fountain.

A ridiculous piece of street theatre, taking an everyday piece of street furniture and creating a unique comedy universe.

It’s a real Fountain of Joy!

Without being didactic the underlying score to this piece is that water is a precious resource to take care of, it’s absence in the show is ever present.

The intention of this show is for people to really laugh together, to share and experience Joy!
