2017 Edinburgh Fringe

More Details

Scott Barnett, writer, producer, podcaster and comedian welcomes you to his debut show tackling loneliness, self-perception and the search for connection... but it's... you know... funny.

Quantumly Entangled with a Blobfish blends surreal silliness with thoughtful gems of wisdom, mined from the ore of nonsense mountain. An interactive comedy homage to the infamous sad-sack; the blobfish. Help reaffirm the fact that misery truly does love company... but eventually, together, misery can become joyous... or something worthy like that.

This first show is a personal one, scouring the depths of his misanthropic mind with a Brillo pad made of daftness. (Disclaimer: that's an analogy, he doesn't actually do that, that would be horrific... plus daftness is an abstract concept, so you couldn't possibly make abrasive fibres out of it anyway.)

With direction from actor, comedian and director, Beth Vyse; Quantumly Entangled with a Blobfish promises to be an interesting introduction to his work.
