About this show
'Harvey Cobb is a born performer, a funny and idiosyncratic improvisational talent' (De Volkskrant). After a wild goose chase for European citizenship, he will be returning to the UK with his debut show – a chaotic and hilarious hour filled with pink boot juggling, ridiculous characters, silly songs, contemporary art, and one Alcoholic Sock Puppet. A Fringe debut not to be missed.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 4 published reviews and 22 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
This show is certainly self aware in it’s weirdness and there were members of the audience getting a really good laugh out of the absurdity. Cobb’s charisma and stage presence made the oddness more enjoyable.
— Edinburgh Reviews (3 out of 5 stars)
Excellent Show. A wonderfully off-kilter collision of circus, comedy and absurdity from a performer who grows more endearing by the minute.
Every part of Cobb’s interaction with the audience is conducted with consent, joy and an obvious love for his craft. This is a natural-born performer with an enormous amount to give.
