A woman, with the help of a man,
nervously sets out to tell us all a joke:
A man walks into a bar and meets a waitress...

The two begin to act out the joke for the audience and lines between the performers and characters blur. Ownership of the story becomes a competition as the man and woman unpack every word and movement, catching each other out on their assumptions and contradictions as they inch towards a dark and dangerous punchline.

A Man Walks Into a Bar was first produced in 2015 by Circle Circle Productions in the Toronto Fringe Festival.
