Sam Simmons: Death of a Sails-Man
Sam Simmons, a total windsurfing legend* is blown out to sea to suffer an existentialist mid-life crisis on the ocean. No epiphanies, no lessons learnt, just a dickhead and his wind sail. *isn't. Prepare yourself as the master of suburban, absurdist comedy returns to Edinburgh with his brand new show. Nominee: Fosters' Edinburgh Comedy Award 2011 'When you leave the Simmons bubble the real world seems beige.' ***** (Scotsman). ***** (Independent). ***** (Telegraph). ***** (Herald).
