Would you pay over £6000 to sit in the middle of the Nevada desert for a week, in summer, without any water provided? In this live character comedy documentary, Ben Macpherson: Burning Man takes you to the heart of the Nevada desert to the infamous burning Man festival where you will meet the tens of thousands who do just that. In this hilarious carousel of characters you follow one documentarians search for truth. In this show, described as a meditation retreat run by the league of gentlemen, you will meet a host of vivid and surreal faces. You can expect to meet Noel Salamander 6ft tall Lizard tech mogul, Glouis Theroux, the worlds stickiest investigative journalist and Mr Whippy, Glasweigan kinkster and ice cream enthusiast, plus many more.
From the bizzare brain of Ben Macpherson, this show seemlessly blends character, sketch and improv together into a riotous and heartfelt romp.
