Driving Around

Overview

A provocative brew of absurdism, American naivety and dark comedy, invite you into an imaginative and fanciful world. Perpetual fabrication and buried social commentary are revealed with effervescent zing and cheeky truth. A show full of insights into what unites us and separates us, Driving Around takes you on a ride that is so far past stupid that it becomes compelling!
