About the show: The Poetry of an Idiot — The Best of Peter Shub

The Poetry of an Idiot — The Best of Peter Shub
60 minutes of glorious nonsense from a one-of-a-kind comedian.Ages 12+ | Non-verbalA semi-, quasi-, pseudo-autobiographical comedy about fear, illusion, and the fate of everyday objects: a toilet-paper roll that spends its entire life waiting for its moment of glory; a terrified bottle opener; and a camera tripod that comes to life...Peter is the world’s “noisiest” mime. He does not play one character, but many: a coat on a hanger, every plant’s best friend — with a tendency toward self-destruction — and the prisoner of his own tripod. He dances, offers his take on songs and cookbooks, and plays with umbrellas and basil plants.So what is this show really about? Well... 60 minutes.Peter ShubPeter Shub has had an acclaimed career as an actor and independent director.
