"Be Good!" with Paulette - A Humble Evening of Mild Manners

  • Mettlesome 800 Taylor St. Suite 9-156 Durham, NC 27701 USA (map)

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

OH LOOK! IT'S THE MILDEST MAN IMAGINABLE. 

Paulette stumbles into a room full of the most strangers he's ever seen, and he doesn't know whether to panic or mingle—so he does both. Sporting a brown sweater and a hot-off-the-fist black eye, he dares to address the room armed with nothing but an arsenal of pleasantries and a monumental fear of rejection.

 

Hot off of sold-out shows in Edinburgh, DC, Philly, and NYC, certified clown Daniel Maseda brings well-mannered idiot Paulette to Mettlesome with this fan-favorite show that never plays out the same way twice. A good night for anyone who wants to scream at a polite person.
