An expert at being himself, Stephen K Amos is supremely warm and wickedly funny with an ability to charm onlookers right into the palm of his hand. He creates weird and wonderful connections within his audience who are drawn into his own personal world and thoughts brought to life by his chatty delivery, his ability to become the characters he's talking about and his fantastic energy and warmth. A regular at the Fringe in Edinburgh and Comedy Festivals around the world, this is Stephen's first time in Prague.

In this raucous Australian comedy set in the back of beyond, Monk O'Neil is facing death alone, with resilience and humor, even anticipation. 'Stretch' is an affirmation of life in the face of inevitable death, and an affirmation of death itself as a fulfilment of the whole life cycle.

This production of a modern classic made its European debut at this years Fringe in May after playing to rave reviews around Australia. This is your last chance to meet Monk.
