HELP ME HELP YOU HELP YOURSELF is an interactive experience provided by the clown Your Silent Partner, who is just trying to spread as much joy as possible before he is carted off to the next venue. In HELP ME HELP YOU HELP YOURSELF, Your Silent Partner presents everything that he has discovered and collected during his time on Earth. However, he cannot do it all on his own and will need your help in order to pull this off. Join him for hijinks such as hundreds of ping-pong balls, a dancing giraffe, and a life size game of Where’s Waldo.
HELP ME HELP YOU HELP YOURSELF has been performed at Second City’s DeMatt Studio, Prop Thtr’s Yippe Fest, and The Chicago Sketch Festival. It won Audience Favorite at the Elgin Fringe Festival, as well as Pick of the Fringe (Producer’s Award) at The Cincinnati Fringe Festival.
