And Then The Rodeo Burned Down

The ★★★★★ Fringe First Winners 2022 return by popular demand!

It certainly ain’t their first rodeo when this pair of clowns are trapped in a time-loop.

It’s the best place in the world, so why would anyone burn it down? Can these two cowboys figure it out before time is up? In this thrilling hour of clowning, physical theatre & comedy it's a race against time to capture the culprit, put out the metaphorical fires & save the show. 

And Then the Rodeo Burned Down returns to the King's Head by popular demand, following a momentous Edinburgh Fringe sold-out run with rave reviews and a coveted Fringe First Award.
 
Both a 'vaudevillian thriller' & 'a queer cowboy Waiting for Godot’ (The Scotsman), this thrilling, joyful & heart-wrenching show comes direct from NYC to the King’s Head theatre for a limited run following critical acclaim.

Scored, like any modern-day Western, by Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash & Miley Cyrus, And Then the Rodeo Burned Down is a physical comedy & clowning spectacular that will leave you questioning the true events of this rodeo, just like the characters trapped inside of it.
