'Ferociously funny' ***** (Scotsman). Following his sold-out, five-star debut show, The Man, Patrick McPherson returns to Edinburgh with Colossal: a one-man comedy play that dives into love stories, morality, and the dance between the two. Colossal weaves sketch comedy, gig theatre and spoken word to tell the comedic and candid story of a man called Dan, his affinity for owls, and his messy recent past. An hour of dynamic theatre, comedy and music, that embraces the spectrum of modern romance, from the first date to the last text, from falling headfirst to falling apart.

Interview with writer-performer Patrick McPherson
"My mum would write stories and read them to my twin brother and me when we were small. I remember her making up this epic fantasy Odyssey which, as I recall it, might be one of the greatest things ever written. But according to her she lost it. A true tragedy."
Tom Inniss, Voice Magazine, 15th August 2022Edinburgh interview: Patrick McPherson on Colossal
"We're taking a risk with this again, because there's lots of elements that I've never done in a show before, lots more music, lots more theatrical stuff, it's definitely more a piece of theatre".
Greg Stewart, Theatre Weekly, 21st July 2022Performances
