A one-man clown show about the worst stripper in a family-run strip club.
When a horrible incident leaves the rest of the family unable to perform at the House of Pitman, a surreal strip club run by generations of Pitmans, there’s only one Pitman left to take the stage… Little Pitman.
Tonight is his debut performance. The only problem? He’s always seen himself as the clown, the people-pleasing entertainer, rather than the star.
Blending clown and character comedy, this strange, visually playful solo show spirals through sketchy characters, surreal transformations and a haunting family voice that undermines his every attempt to perform. As the world becomes increasingly absurd, will Little Pitman finally become a Pitman or crawl back into the shadows of the club?
''Pitman is superbly quick on his feet and goes with the audience’s desires.'' - Binge Fringe (****)
''The House of Pitman is very much a vehicle for Pitman’s comic clowning. From that manic introduction to his fast-paced exploration of the members of the family, it’s all done with a knowing wink and at one hundred miles an hour, with a generous hint of Lee Evans in his physicality.'' - Everything Theatre (****)
