Mister Jackpot lives in Lexington, Kentucky. By day he endures the grinding monotony of a gardening equipment company. By night he dreams of being a winner – money, women, luxury cars, the James Bond life. Then a chance encounter with a slot machine changes everything. What begins as harmless entertainment quickly spirals into a compulsion fed by his darkest inner demon. A tragicomic solo performance that blends physical theatre and dark comedy to explore the psychological spiral leading to pathological gambling.
