Overview
John-Luke Roberts is too anxious to leave the house, so a figment from a nightmare called “The Monarch” has to perform his show for him. The Monarch doesn’t know how to perform a comedy show, but does it anyway. This is that show. An anxiety dream performed live on stage; or a comedy show about anxiety.
