The Last of the Knotts at Santa Monica Playhouse

Selected as one of Hollywood Fringe Festival's "Best of the Fest," The Last of the Knotts is a semi-autobiographical solo show from performer-poet Doug Knott. In it, Knott's character -- a carefree L.A. hipster -- agonizes over whether or not to become a father after putting up with a lifetime's worth of pain from his own dad, an abusive Florida judge. A well-known poet and stage performer, Knott has produced and emceed a hit cult variety show, had his own nightclub, toured the country as part of performance group the Carma Bums, and was named winner of the revived Gong Show. He'll battle his personal demons onstage when the acclaimed production comes to the Santa Monica Playhouse.
