Selected “BEST OF THE FEST” of the 2011 Hollywood Fringe Festival, LAST OF THE KNOTTS,a semi-autobiographical, one-man comi-tragedy, tells the story of poet-hipster, Doug Knott’s irreverent and thorny battle with becoming a father… or Knott! After putting up with a lifetime’s worth of pain from …his own abusive Judge of a Dad, Doug promises himself and his old man to be “the last of the Knotts” until… he falls in love with a beautiful woman with a pet boa constrictor… and “one of his sperm clings to a lifeboat inside her.” The show, too, is pregnant with laughs, squirms, and the comic and painful truth of life!
