Josh Pickar: Getting Off

Law School. Death row. Clown school. US capital defense attorney Josh Pickar spent seven years fighting against the death penalty. Then he moved to France and trained as a clown. Now he’s on stage with an absurd comedy about the American death penalty, the institutions that run it, and how one lapdance took it down. This darkly funny debut reckons with what it takes to work inside the machinery of state execution, and what it takes to leave. A stupidly smart show about a shockingly stupid system.
