Spirit of the Fringe Award winner Släpstick is back. Bringing their unique brand of mischief to Schërzo, a clown-esque concerto for the ages where a seemingly highbrow classical concert glissandos into a bacchanal of comical mishaps and absurdity. Neither floppy-wigged composers nor their magnum opus are safe from this Släpstick buffoonery. It's Chaplin meets Tchaikovsky, Buster versus Bernstein, and Groucho Marx does Mozart, all rolled up into one raucous show! Internationally renowned Släpstick presents Schërzo, a performance of classical music as you've never experienced it before. Language no problem.

#SNAPCHATZ Episode 51: Interactive #EdFringe performances, the audience as co-creators

In this #SNAPCHATZ episode, we delve into the heart of interactive #EdFringe performances - the shows where the audience aren't just viewers, they're co-creators. Whether it's shaping the formless void in Nicola Bullock's Stuck in Free Fall, engaging in rib-tickling classical music jokes in Släpstick's Scherzo, or finding resilience and humour in the shared experiences of Sophie Santos's Sophie Santos... is Codependent.

Theatre At The Fringe - interview - Släpstick: Schërzo

Schërzo is an hour of daft jokes, physical humour, and impeccable musicianship - all the while poking fun at the elitist world of classical music with a 'nothing is holy' attitude.
