Fisherman Jon: What's on the End of My Rod? A Clown Odyssey

Epic voyage to discover what's truly on the end of his rod...

After a sold-out, five star run at venues around London, join Fisherman Jon on a hilarious and heartfelt journey of self-discovery in this captivating clown odyssey.

Jon is a lonely fisherman sailing the seven seas, but his life changes forever when he falls in love with a Carp. However, a violent storm separates them, and Jon washes up on a deserted island. There, he must confront his inner demons and find a way back to the love of his life. A riotous tale about love, self-acceptance, and the ocean’s mysterious power.

Written by Coral Bevan, Ricky Hunt, & David Alwyn
Directed by Ricky Hunt & David Alwyn
Character Created by Coral Bevan
