2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Crybabies: Bagbeard
Crybabies have produced another tightly written, daft caper. With Max & Ivan not around town so much these days, Crybabies feel like the natural heirs to their crown.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the woods... Join James (still tall), Ed (less handsome) and Michael (???) on a sci-fi infected narrative sketch adventure about finding home, forbidden love, monsters, mystery and massive regret. Dave's Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer nominee, 2019. 'Highly impressive' **** (Guardian). 'High concept farce of the first order' **** (Telegraph). 'Out-there originality' **** (Chortle.com). 'A wave of absurdist wonderment' **** (Skinny). 'Clever and genuinely funny' ***** (MumbleComedy.net).
