Based on Lorenzo Pisoni's vagabond life as the youngest member of San Francisco's Pickle Family Circus, Humor Abuse is one man's funny and candid exploration of the father/son relationship and the hopes and disappointments that lurk behind that red rubber nose. Pisoni, through extraordinary clowning and riveting storytelling, reveals that running away with the circus isn't always fun and games. Best enjoyed by patrons age 14+.
