Paulette stumbles into a room full of the most strangers he’s ever seen, and he doesn’t know whether to panic or mingle—so he does both, for 60 minutes straight. Sporting a brown sweater and a hot-off-the-fist black eye, he dares to address the room armed with nothing but an arsenal of pleasantries and a monumental fear of rejection.

Hot off of high-octane runs in Edinburgh and even America, certified clown Daniel
Maseda brings well-mannered idiot Paulette to Richmond with this cult-favorite show that never plays out the same way twice. A perfect evening for anyone who wants to scream at a polite person.
