You shouldn't be doing what you're doing on that Ladder

by Peter Nicholls / Tribe of Fools

You shouldn't be doing what your doing on that Ladder deputed in February 2020 and now returns to tackle the instability of mental health in 2022. Using three different sized ladders, a solo clown performer, Peter Nicholls, strings together success and failure in his pursuit to reach greater heights of well being and ladder steps. Hilarity and terror ensue as the ladders humiliate, confuse, crush and even lick our troubled clown. Filled with spectacle, laughs, tears and fears, Peter attempts to perform the greatest ladder trick ever seen but must first accomplish a more impossible feat: finding the desire to get out of bed in the morning.
