Synopsis: A group of comedians drifts aimlessly on an old, dilapidated boat. An official decree has cast them out of society and forbids them not only from practicing their profession but also from living as they please. As they sail, they arrive at different places and times where they encounter others who, like them, have been expelled from the “realm of the righteous.” But, curiously, these people don’t accept them either…

Finally, they find a place where they can live in peace. Because despite the difficulties, there’s always a place for everyone in this world—you just have to look for it!”

The show features live music.
