2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Markus Birdman's Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea
Deliciously dark re-workings, told through stand-up and live art. Three classic stories of making a deal with the wrong guy: Rumpelstiltskin, Faustus and the blues guitarist selling his soul at the crossroads. Dreams are like children - follow them too long, people get suspicious. Back from NZ Comedy Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival with his ninth Edinburgh Fringe solo show. 'The most absorbing show I have seen. Completely spellbinding' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Twistedly brilliant cartoons accompanying a master storyteller, charming the audience into the palm of his hand' ***** (KeepingUpWithNZ.com).
