Critically acclaimed idiot Olaf Falafel is back with another hour of inventive jokes, audience participation and the very loosest of themes. You'll laugh, you'll be confused, you'll enjoy most of it. 'A wonderful hour of professional silliness' (List). 'A barrage of absurdist humour and sharp one-liners' (EdFringeReview.com). 'Olaf Falafel is an idiot, and wouldn't have it any other way' (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk). 'Refreshingly odd' (iNews.co.uk).
