A world-famous mime attempts to be more entertaining than a standard baby. From Trygve Wakenshaw, the creator of smash hits Nautilus (Fosters Award nominee), Kraken and Squidboy, comes a brand-new show and a brand-new baby. 'The new king of silent comedy' (Guardian). 'So magical, so delightfully playful. Wakenshaw leaves his audience slack-jawed with admiration' **** (Scotsman). 'Trygve is a Loony Toons creation made flesh... you can't help but be carried away by the pure joy of his madcap landscapes' **** (Fest). 'Astonishing, original, witty and engrossing' ***** (TheArtsDesk.com).
