The Last of its kind

Tickets $25 waged / $20 unwaged, concession, artist
Duration 50 mins

Get ready for a hilariously quirky, jaw-dropping performance as acclaimed physical comedian Thom Monckton takes the stage!

Imagine Mr. Bean meets Cirque du Soleil—a mesmerizing blend of acrobatics, comical contortions, and absurd errors, all woven together with Thom's intelligent, whimsical perspective. Watch as the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary, leaving you in stitches as Thom's award-winning comedic brilliance shines through.

Don't miss your chance to experience this one-of-a kind, magical performance.

Molded together from lost pieces of forgotten acts, Endling holds the embers of mirth in cupped hands carefully nursing them to a roaring sun of laughter. Tiny pieces of inventive physical comedy populate a curation of timeless, rambling, joyful jaunts. Thom Monckton has been making solo physical theatre pieces for over 10 years, and Endling presents the favorite fingers of this body of work waving goodbye before they disappear forever.
