Edinburgh Fringe
My Brain is Soup, Your Hands Are the Spoons
An absurdist character-comedy show from a helpless clown. Chris East's brain is overflowing, like a chunky idea soup filled with unformed thoughts, bizarre plots, plans, ambitions, celery and characters, so many characters. Expect 'something weirder and more surreal with glittering flashes of comic gold' (TheSpyInTheStalls.com). 'With hearty and well-versed humour, East prompted a roaring response' (The Student Newspaper). A Soho Theatre Labs alumni, as seen on SkyTV, Disney+ and Reading and Leeds Festival. Fresh off sell-out shows at Camden Fringe and Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022.
