WORLD PREMIERE OF

THE LAST OF THE KNOTTS

This “poetically hip” one-man show makes its world premiere in Los Angeles and will be performed on June 18th, June 21st, June 24th at the Lounge 1 Theater.

A carefree LA hipster is faced with life’s ultimate choice, fatherhood: to have or have Knott.

The Hollywood Fringe Festival in association with Spoken Word Festival is proud to present THE LAST OF THE KNOTTS, written and performed by Doug Knott, and developed and directed by Eric Trules.

THE STORY: Doug Knott, a carefree LA hipster, and son of redneck Tallahassee patriarch, Judge Knott, finds himself on the horns of a dilemma. To be or not to be…. a father. Having taken enough lifelong shit from the abusive Judge, Doug aims his metaphorical gun at his father and says, “No way. I am the last of the Knotts.” Then he thinks twice! This is Knott a comedy…

DOUG KNOTT has been a performance poet and stage performer in LA for many years. He produced and em-ceed a hit cult variety show at the Lhasa club, and later had his own nightclub in the 80’s. As a member of the performance group, the Carma Bums, he toured the western states and also won the revived Gong Show. He is the author of several poetry books and wrote, produced and starred in several videos, many of which won national prizes in the 90’s. In the last months he has done solo shows at local venues including the Electric Lodge, Highways, and the Santa Monica Playhouse.
