This show is heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, so your last chance to witness me before it heads out of town!

8:00pm Show Start

JOSHUA’S WITNESSES is an immersive solo show, which unearths all the dirty intel on the Jehovah’s Witness religion. Brother Joshua has been called forth to the judicial committee (the audience), which will judge if he should be disfellowshipped (exiled) due to his transgressions, a Jehovah’s Witness real practice. These transgressions are shown through a mix of comedy bits, storytelling segments, and burlesque.

Audience members are encouraged to participate, but are not required to.

Don’t miss this sexy, spellbinding physical comedy that has been crafted from real-life experience, as Joshua was born a Jehovah’s Witness, and raised in the religion until he left at the age of 15.

Directed by Sweet Action Theatre’s Gordon Neill.

Ottawa Fringe audience reviews

"This show had me laughing to the point of tears. Excellent comedic timing and rolling with the punches. A must see for those of us with religious trauma."

"Not your typical theatre experience, but definitely an unforgettable and an important one. Go see it."

"BEST. OF. FRINGE."

"Joshua’s Witnesses is everything I ever wanted in a show: revealing religious secrets, top-notch physical comedy, fantastical(ly sexy) body control, lighthearted audience interaction, and incredible comedic timing. The mesmerizing flow of storytelling that draws from his real-life experience as a Jehovah Witness made this hour fly by. I can hardly believe he made me burst out laughing more than once by making the idea of converting someone absolutely hilarious."
