Mel McGlensey is Motorboat  by Mel McGlensey
WINNER: Best Comedy weekly award Adelaide Fringe Festival 2024

Batten down the hatches and seal your porthole! It’s time for the silliest, most outrageous, naughty and nautical show ever made about someone who is part boat, part woman… and full clown. 

Come with Motorboat on a sea voyage of self-discovery, silliness and stupidity.

Tickets: £10
https://www.jacksonslane.org.uk/events/silly-little-things/
After a seven-year hiatus from the Fringe, Trygve Wakenshaw returns with his new hilarious mime-clown-comedy show. 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. 

Trygve Wakenshaw is an award-winning and internationally-recognised mime clown. In 2015 he was nominated for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and in 2017 he sold out at the Fringe with Trygve Versus A Baby.

We weren’t here before we were born, and we won’t be here after we die.
It’s terrifying, but at least we’re in this together.  

Itch is a new circus and theatre show that tackles our fear of death and the existential anxiety that grips us all. Blending philosophical and psychoanalytical ideas with juggling, acro dance and aerial dancing, Itch invites us to confront the ultimate truth of our mortality.
