About this show
Funny, horrible and just a bit naughty, Ben Macpherson brings the perfect gateway to your Fringe afternoon back to Edinburgh, for its fourth year. Serious Nonsense is a free poetry show for all ages, packed with energetic rhymes, masterful storytelling and laugh-out-loud moments. Grab a seat and prepare to meet the awful adults, beastly brats and curious creatures from this verbal tour de force. If you liked Roald Dahl or Spike Milligan growing up, then this is the show for you. 'Full of humour and drive' (Michael Rosen). 'Ben Macpherson is a joy' (Caroline Bird).
