2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Michael Brunström: Parsley
Michael Brunström (The Human Loire, The Golden Age of Steam, The Hay Wain Reloaded) returns to the Fringe with a show entirely about the popular kitchen herb parsley. There will be foliage, songs, melancholy, sauce, folklore, gardening and dreams, not to mention a live reconstruction of the Battle of Britain. 'Sense-bendingly entertaining... great, crazy, never-to-be-forgotten comedy' **** (Scotsman). 'An artistic genius' **** (Skinny). 'Hilariously silly... bucking the mainstream trend for everyday anecdotes in favour of unabashed absurdity' (Chortle.co.uk). 'A proper weirdo' (Time Out). 'What the...?' (Metro). Malcolm Hardee Award Winner 2015. Malcolm Hardee Award Nominated 2014.

Today turned into very much a Spirit of The Fringe day: a spirit far too often submerged by giant posters and promoters/managers/agents/venues screwing their performers. As is often muttered, SOMEONE is making money, but it is rarely the performers.
