Edinburgh Fringe
Paul Currie: Shtoom
Brand-new, non-verbal immersive comedy show, created by award-winning Belfast comedian and clownarchist, Paul Currie. This show fuses physical clowning, music, contemporary dance, non-verbal comedy vignettes and crowd participation on a grand scale, utilising and subverting everyday objects and everyday life without having to utter a single word. Paul will show how he uses comedy to elevate his mental health and deep depression through laughter in this true sympathy of silly. Shtoom is a unique, surrealist, Dadaesque performance punk musical. 'Best comedy I saw was Paul Currie' ***** (Stewart Lee). 'Gloriously funny, Utterly unpredictable.. thrillingly silly...' ***** (Entertainment-Now.com).
