2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Jaw dropping skills and disarming charm pave the way for a bittersweet comedy exploring the highs and lows of a life spent juggling.

Mat Ricardo has toured the world with an art that has been all-consuming in its perfection. This touching, poignant and utterly absorbing show opens a window on the lonely life of making others laugh.

Ricardo has been one of cabaret's best kept secrets for many years; a performer's performer, whose skill, dedication and dead-pan wit have made him a well-loved favourite on the scene. Now Ricardo is ready to burst forth and grab the attention of the world with a unique show that highlights his extraordinary talent as a juggler, his exceptional ability as a comic and wordsmith and his compelling artistry as an actor and story-teller.

In a show that takes the audience on an extraordinary journey through the soaring successes and difficult down sides of Ricardo's life as a performer, every dark revelation is lightened by his dry wit and his truly phenomenal skills.

A unique piece of comic theatre, and one of the most original and compelling shows you will see on the Fringe this year.
