THE GLITTER HORROR SHOW IS BACK!

From the makers of fringe smash hit "Father, Father. Father!" comes an all new absurd dark comedy...

KIDCASINO follows two kids as they run free in Sun Star Casino's Arcade. Left to their own devices while their mother risks it all at the slot machines, these siblings indulge in tokens, tickets, chewing gum, soda, fast food, flashing lights and endless promises of prizes. Welcome to Sun Star Casino, where you play big to win big!

KidCasino is a surreal satirical exploration of the underbelly of Casino Culture, the obsession with winning and the endless indulgence of compulsive gambling. Brought to you by the creators of Father, Father. Father, this absurd dark comedy promises to entertain, entice and unnerve.

“...superb performances by the cast of two, Roberto Pombo and Joni Barnard. They expend enough energy to light up a small Eastern Cape Dorp” - Keith Millar, Artsmart.

R 120 at the door. R 100 online.

Like its predecessor, FFF, this show was just fantastic! Love the dark humour intertwined with the sunny, happy, smiley acting. I'm just sad I couldn't see the full effect of their light-up tekkies from the fifth row, HOWEVER the handstands and cartwheels helped :D Would definitely recommend and see again. Can't wait to see what they get up to next! Bravo!

Strange and funny and dark. I liked the minimalism of it, very creative use of space.
