Description
Aussies Chad and Brad are Pleading Stupidity
They robbed a bank... whilst still wearing their name tags from work. They took selfies with the stolen cash. And their crime was solved in just 8 minutes.
But who were the bank tellers behind the desk that day? What’s their story? Will anyone listen to another version of events?
Pleading Stupidity is the hilarious and unbelievable true story of two bumbling Aussie boys' calamitous bank robbery, and the stories left behind in their wake.
Told with high-energy, physical comedy, frenetic action, and verbatim speech, and featuring a multi-rolling cast playing a whole host of wacky characters, this is "a fast-paced blast of comic theatre” (Chortle).
