2016 Edinburgh Fringe
My Name Is Gideon: Songs, Space Travel And Everything In-between
Fusing songs, stories, and underwater levitation! Gideon Irving creates a tapestry of the unexpected with a voice the New Yorker describes as 'unique and unclassifiable, just like the guy himself'. Using banjo, bouzouki, waterphone, shruti box, mbira, scacciapensieri, wineglass and more, his show has been forged in over 500 living room performances around the world. After traveling home-to-home on bicycle and rollerblades, this home-show troubadour invites you into his Fringe living room. The New York Times calls him 'funny and poignant' whilst his mother says: 'he's the greatest!'.

ThreeWeeks, 29th August 2016Gideon Irving: For iving rooms to the Fringe
Gideon Irving can usually be found performing his music in the living rooms of his audience. But occasionally the multi-instrumentalist and raconteur is persuaded into a more conventional performance space, which is good news for us here at the Fringe.
