'The strangest, funniest, most exciting hour I've spent at the Fringe so far... stunning' **** (Times, on Befrdfgth). 'His combination of clowning, oddity and low-level menace constitute one of the funniest shows on the fringe' **** (Guardian, on Becaves). 'An utterly bizarre, dreadfully funny hour of uncompromising anti-comedy' **** (Time Out, on Because). www.underbelly.co.uk for performance information.
