A hilarious new mime-clown-comedy show from the mind and body that brought you Squid Boy, Kraken, Nautilus, Trygve Vs A Baby and Different Party – light and silly, absurd and Dada, and a sort of autobiographical, introspective look at all the silly little things that can make or break a friendship
Ranked in the Top 5 best reviewed comedy shows at Edinburgh Fringe 2024, Silly Little Things is a hilarious, moving and physically extraordinary new show by the industry-leading mime Trygve Wakenshaw. Silly Little Things is at once subversive and sublime – a masterclass of mime from the man who paved the way for so many contemporary clowns.
In this new show, Trygve builds an experimental playground and lets his imagination run riot. Spinning ridiculous scenes out of the smallest funny ideas and conjuring up slapstick magic, Silly Little Things is a space of wonder and joy. It’s about friendship and magic and what more could we want really?
Trygve’s hilarious and fun hit physical comedies are consistently a sell-out at festivals around the world.
