Mr Cardboard is a clown and theatre show created and performed by Miles Calderon and Levi Meltzer, both trained under Philippe Gaulier. In the show, a rotten little boy named Huxley — on his loneliest birthday yet — is whisked away by the timeless Mr Cardboard in a journey that folds the grotesque into the beautiful. Described as a disturbingly delightful work, the show warms the heart and rips it along its perforated edge. It runs for 60 minutes at the Belly Laugh venue and is suitable for those aged 8 and over. Note: hazelnuts are used as an allergen during the show.
Why see this show?
Two Gaulier-trained performers bring a strange, genuinely affecting story of childhood loneliness and wonder. The grotesque and the beautiful are held together here with real skill — odd, moving and not quite like anything else.
