About this show
BAFTA-nominated Spencer Jones, twice Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated, unleashes an hour of wild, no-story visual comedy – daft music, surreal props, bonkers energy – where anything can happen and usually does. Expect a chaotic mix of clowning, silly stories, puppets, nonsense and unpredictable mayhem from one of the Fringe’s most gloriously silly minds. Kids will love it, adults will laugh just as hard – no family required. If you like your comedy strange, joyful and completely unhinged, this is the show for you. A rare chance to see pure imagination run riot on stage.
