The surreal drag clown odyssey returns to the water on West London’s Puppet Theatre Barge.
Following a recently sold out show at Soho Theatre: Dean Street, we are thrilled to invite you to Fisherman Jon: What’s on the end of my rod? at the Puppet Barge, London.
Fisherman Jon is a lonely fisherman sailing the seas, until one day he falls in love with a carp, shortly after proclaiming their adoration, a tremendous storm cruelly separates the lovers. Fisherman Jon washes up on a deserted island where he must confront his inner demons and find the way back to the love of his life - the carp. A riotous and beautiful tale teaching us to love the oceans but to also love ourselves and one another.
Co-creator Coral Bevan says “I’m so excited to be performing at this incredibly special venue once again. Hearing the ducks quack on the canal during the show really adds to the atmosphere and sometimes even aids my punchlines. This show is so special to me, Jon is such a loveable idiot who is just trying to find love in this complicated thing called life. They say there are plenty of fish in the sea, but will he be lucky enough to find one”
The Puppet Theatre Barge is one of the UK’s most unique theatre venues, a 50 seat theatre inside a converted barge, the only floating puppet theatre in the country. They have been putting on a programme of unique and magical puppet shows below the waterline in West London for over forty years.
Join Fisherman Jon on an epic voyage of self discovery, to find out what is on the end of his rod.
