Healing King Herod

Healing King Herod

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2023

King Herod, famed for his Massacre of the Innocents, now leads a self-development pyramid scheme. Ancient soldiers become modern clients in an interactive, drag-clown therapy session. Through improvised songs, political parody and cult-like rituals, Herod asks one thing: forgive... yourself. VAULT Festival sell-out show, nominated for Show of the Week, Herod returns to heal Edinburgh. But who is his process really for? Created by Comedy Central-endorsed clown Riss Obolensky and director Eloïse Poulton. 'Funny, memorable, bold' ****½ (TheReviewsHub.com). 'Side-splitting laughs' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Raging lesbian' ***** (DIVA Magazine). 'Brilliantly weird' **** (FringeBiscuit.co.uk). 'Best thing I've ever seen' (LostCabaret.com).
