2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Toby Isaacs: Existence is Futile
Toby, an unambitious 30-something wants to make the world a better place, but takes umbrage at most of its citizens because he doesn't have a pension. Perplexed at regular social interaction, Toby attempts over and over to deconstruct the dream of a normal life and the hollow identity portrayed by cultural saturation; like having a career in something-that-is-more-than-just-a-series-of-imaginary-words management, and then binge-watching nine seasons of Suits over the Easter Weekend. This reluctant member of the middle-child-classes will have you pining after a simpler life and hopeful that the world can be rebuilt, with fewer pieces.
