2017 Edinburgh Fringe

What is the show about?

Fragile Fragments is a comedy show inspired by Tom Mayhew's experiences as a quiet, awkward, depressed person who struggles with social anxiety and social activities in equal measure. It touches on issues such as sexuality, regret, and Top Cat. There are plenty of dark, self-deprecating jokes, all delivered by a likeable performer with the face of a child.
