BIGFOOT: In Plain Sight - CANCELLED

Something's lurking in the trees and it sounds like a one person comedy show about Bigfoot.

Man in camping gear including large vintage backpack, plunger, fishing vest, short shorts and boots mid-step casting a large shadow the shape of Bigfoot on a green backdrop. Treated to look like the cover of a 70s science fiction novel.

Tighten your hiking boots, charge your camera and get ready to enter the, mostly unknown, world of BIGFOOT.

In 2012, renowned Canadian Bigfoot researcher Robert H. McKinley self-published an autobiographical book encompassing his lifelong journey, and bond, with Bigfoot. In 2024, local bozos Handful of Bugs adapt that very book into a one person comedy show.

Set in the freezing Canadian wilderness, the story follows McKinley as he sets out on a journey to prove once and for all that this infamous conspiracy theory is not a theory at all, but a cold hard fact.

Performed by Alex Donnelly and directed by Lachie Gough of Handful Of Bugs Theatre (The John Wilkes Booth, Monster Truck Extravaganza 3000). This exciting new comedy blends the teams distinctive style of physical comedy and clever wit to bring to life McKinley’s first hand experience with this elusive creature, whilst also asking if there can ever be such a thing as too much belief.
