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.
