THE SWAMP IS ON FIRE by TOD KIMBRO
This acclaimed, award-winning, one-man musical is a swampy stew of comedy, drama, twisted Floridian fables, and truly disquieting wildlife facts, set to an indie rock score and performed by one of the Fringe circuits’s most versatile and celebrated artists. It’s a coming-of-age tale, a queer romance, and a bitingly funny study of the connections and consequences that reverberate across decades.
“The Swamp Is on Fire is an airboat of originality, and Kimbro tackles it with the intensity of an earthshaking epic.”
—Seth Kubersky, Orlando Weekly
“This charming musical, so pungent you can smell the swamp water, tells a coming-of-age story with verve. Kimbro has a brilliant eye for capturing detail, and brings people and places to life so vividly that you can picture a full production number in your mind’s eye. Kimbro’s catchy and clever songs mix comedy and poignancy in a perfect recipe.”
—Matt Palm, Orlando Sentinel
The Swamp Is on Fire premiered at the 2025 Orlando Fringe Festival, where it won the Critics Choice award for Outstanding Solo Show (Musical). It marks Kimbro’s 29th creative contribution to the Fringe Festival scene. His script for the award-winning Josephine, a musical about the life of Josephine Baker, has been performed at venues and festivals all over the world.
