THE WEDDING GUEST Debut Solo Show from Raphael Perahia

The Wedding Guest is a solo character-comedy chronicling the ups and downs of two idiots, Juan Dominguez a thick-moustached general, and J'VaAnN a lovesick poet as they pine for the love of one woman; Leela.

The show made its debut in August 2016 at Angel Comedy Club as a work in progress production. Following additional development in London during the autumn the show was performed at Etcetera Theatre in November. The Wedding Guest is now gearing up to tour over the winter/spring beginning with another 2 day run at Etcetera Theatre in February, followed by The FRIGID Festival in New York City, and The Brighton Fringe Festival in May.

The show is written and performed by Raphael Perahia, and directed by Shea Wojtus.

Raphael Perahia studied improvisation in the UK with Monkey Toast, the FA and in New York with The Upright Citizens Brigade. He has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and regularly performs improvisation around London with his team, The SEPS.
