Head to see this duo slipping on 1,000 bananas, or your money back - provided that everyone comes out unscathed.


You either die an artist or you live long enough to see yourself become a stuntman. For his Edinburgh Fringe debut, Bill O'Neill uses every trick up his sleeve to explore the oldest one in the book. Directed by the Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning Natalie Palamides (Nate, Laid), this hilarious debut follows two daredevil brothers attempting the impossible - slipping on 1,000 banana peels. Through a surreal exploration of loss, failure, masculinity and death-defying pratfalls, O'Neill challenges the limits of the human body and spirit - one banana peel at a time.
