Cole Triplett Will Bring Solo Debut DOOFUS to Hollywood Fringe Festival
The solo clown show, directed by Natasha Mercado, will run at the Broadwater Black Box in Los Angeles
Alt-comedy Houston staple Cole Triplett will make their solo debut with DOOFUS at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. After a decade of pioneering comedy that pushes the limits of sketch and improv, Triplett delivers a theatrical experience that is both hilarious, innovative and unexpectedly moving. Directed by award-winning director Natasha Mercado. The show opens Thursday, June 4th at the Broadwater (Black Box) and runs through June 27th.
This solo clown performance arrives at Fringe with a sharply bouffon, self-aware edge: a charismatic yet deeply flawed landlord takes center stage in a darkly humorous exploration of desire, power, and contradiction. Blending satire with vulnerability, the show leans into the tension of being drawn to exactly the kind of person you know you should resist.
With heightened physicality and absurdist flair, Triplett embodies a character who is as magnetic as he is morally questionable—inviting audiences to laugh, cringe, and perhaps recognize their own complicated impulses..
Bold, unfiltered, and unapologetically funny, this late-night Fringe offering embraces messiness, challenges assumptions, and delivers big laughs with a provocative twist.
