2012 Edinburgh Fringe

We are all afraid most of the time. It's the motivation and justification behind so much of what we do, or what we fail to do. Frustrated with this predicament, comedian Ed O'Meara has quit his day job with no clear idea of how to achieve anything. But is fear there to hold us back or keep us safe? Using stories, jokes and visual aids, this Edinburgh-hardened comedian dips his toe into the paddling pool of terror. (NB - actual paddling pool may not be available). 'Mercurial wit' (BBC, Writersroom). 'Clever well-crafted jokes' (Newbury Today).
