Marcus is Alive

Imagine “Fleabag” meets “Fiddler on the Roof”

This one-hour solo show is Marcus’s true story of one crazy night in LA: A hit-and-run, near-death experience, two brain surgeries, six failed marriage proposals, a psychic detective, and a wayward Rabbi. Marcus is still alive, but the real mystery is why, and why are any of us here?

Blending biting humour with spiritual insight and raw storytelling, “Marcus is Alive” is a heartwarming show about how the actor in front of you faced death in real life and fought back through a miraculous recovery to make the most of life.

After acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Hollywood Fringe, this new play is now heading to Manchester.

“A captivating reminder of why we are here. Go see it!” – Jeremy Kagan, Emmy-winning director (“The Chosen”, “The West Wing”)
