​Run time: 60 minutes
High-energy English performance poet. Has done more Fringe Festivals than anyone on earth this century.
Brand new show featuring dumb comedy, smart comedy and dark tales.
This is poetry as a singular mix of theatre, comedy, rhythm and movement.
45+ 5 STAR reviews. 200+ 4 STAR.
“Dynamic, hilarious, riveting.” 5 STARS Winnipeg Free Press.
“Dynamic, riveting, hilarious.” Scotsman.
“Highest calibre… Genius.” 5 STARS Montreal Gazette.
“Absolute master… Bravo.” Vancover Sun.
That great gift, the English language, stretched to breaking point.
...
A comic trailer for the Fringe. An experiment in spoken sci-fi. The man so acutely vulnerable he brings the vulture out in everyone. A cool and trendy grandma is rubbish. And simply walking down any street imagining what movie everyone is in.
