During the past 15 years, Fringe fixture Martin Dockery has taken Orlando audiences on over a dozen delirious head trips with his award-winning serio-comic absurdist scripts. But this weekend, on the eve of the election, he’s making an unusual appearance outside the Festival to explore something even more inexplicable than an inescapable party: America’s presidential politics.
Dockery will perform his latest solo show, Truth, in Central Florida for the first (and likely last) time ever. Dockery received rave reviews in Edmonton, Winnipeg and Minneapolis for this autobiographical comedy about going stir-crazy with his wife and kid while our country’s connection to objective reality unravels, thanks in large part to a certain orange ex-president.
Based on Dockery’s track record and Truth‘s rib-tickling teaser trailer, you can expect an explosively emotional and exuberantly entertaining evening that will leave you laughing all the way to the polls on Tuesday.
7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Nov. 1-2, Starlite Room, Savoy, 1913 N. Orange Ave., martindockery.com, $20. —
