King Herod, famed for his Massacre of the Innocents, now leads a self-development pyramid scheme. Audiences transform from ancient soldiers into modern clients in an interactive, drag-clown, group therapy session. Through improvised songs, political parodies, breathing exercises and cult-like rituals, Herod asks one thing: forgive… yourself. Within the show’s chaotic absurdity lurks male accountability, self-reckoning and deep shadow work. Who is Herod’s process really for?

Created by Comedy Central-endorsed clown, Riss Obolensky, and director Eloïse Poulton. Award-winner of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Keep It Fringe fund and a VAULT Festival sell-out show, nominated for Show of the Week.
