The Passion of Mr. Cardboard (in LA)

Come see Mr.Cardboard (Stamptown, Chris Gethard’s That Show, Edinburgh Fringe), something between a jovial imaginary friend and an all-powerful god of play, return to face his most trying hour yet! After being called forth from his slumber, Mr. Cardboard flies you to his domain, The Land of Cardboard; but, is the Land of Cardboard the magical place it once was? Mr. Cardboard must battle with a higher power for the pleasure of the audience and to save the eternal spirit of the Land of Cardboard, in this theatrically forward solo clown show by Miles Calderon.
