If you haven’t experienced Joe Thristino’s latest dark comedy, Bringer of Doom, yet – don’t miss your chance!  With only ten days left in its run, this off-Broadway gem has audiences and critics buzzing with excitement.

Bringer of Doom started its run at the Player’s Theatre this July 25th, and immediately started receiving praise for the hilarious plot and talented cast. This dark comedy is being recognized for more than its humor; it has been labeled “topical and innovative.” If you’ve seen their clever teasers on social media – you know what we mean! 

Inspired by the antics of a comedian’s roast gone awry, Bringer of Doom delivers a sharp, twisted exploration of family dynamics and unexpected consequences. When Lotte enlists the help of a washed-up comedian, Demetrius, to roast her estranged mother – and her mother’s much younger lover – the evening spirals into a chaotic mix of humor and horror. As dark motives come to light, the play takes a morbid turn that leaves the audience both laughing and gasping in disbelief. 

Audiences have been raving about the play’s clever writing, unexpected twists, and outstanding performances. One Show Score reviewer exclaimed, “See it if you love dark comedies with clever writing and unexpected twists. The humor is sharp, and the plot keeps you engaged and laughing.” Another added, “What a delightful surprise to attend such a funny and expertly performed show. I will see it again.” 

The intimate cast of four and the small set are also earning high praise. “This is a good cast of four using a small set very well,” noted one viewer, who also appreciated the play’s many messages about human behavior. The direction and performances have struck a chord with audiences, with one audience member urging, “If you like comedy, then see this one! Cast and direction are all really terrific.”
