Driving the Doubts Away is an info comedy about a confused 20-something, who wants to be an artist, somehow gets into art school – and gets more confused.
It answers the question: “what do yo do when doubt is killing you?”
Throwing light on the main plot are digressions on Valhalla, Mars bars, billionaires, Austrian wine, free coffee, and much more.
At the heart of the confusion stands Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain, a urinal turned sculpture in 1917, which in 2004 was voted the most influential art work of the 20th century.
An info comedy consists of 40% information, 30% comedy, 20% autobiography, and 10% melodrama.
“In 1992, I’m a 20-something, and I want to be an artist. But I’m confused. And going to art school is like going to jail. Except that with jail, it’s hard to get out. While with art school, it’s hard to get in.”
