2016 Edinburgh Fringe
Matthew Highton's I, the Universe
3016, space is overrun with tourists. Amongst them a young couple who just want a real experience, and in order to get it they will travel galaxies to watch the last god die. It's a story so moving the universe itself personified to tell it. From master storyteller Matthew Highton, director and collaborator of the twice Chortle-nominated Weirdos Collective ('Making us laugh at very strange things' Independent), this is a compelling, hilarious and absurdly silly show. 'Highton has the storyteller's gift' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Disorientating, bizarre and rather brilliant' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Wonderful surrealism' (Guardian). www.pay-what-you-want.info

Short Com, 29th July 2016Matthew Highton: Edinburgh Fringe 2016 interview
Never a man to let pragmatics get in the way of a good idea, Matthew Highton's ambitious effort this year seems him play the part of the universe. Bold moves are what we've come to expect from Highton, who's made a name for himself as a surreal storyteller, blending fantastical scenarios with a tight narrative that manages to make sense of the madness.
