A Starling is Born. A sharp avian romp starring AI, me and 38,000 starlings. Abandoned by society and isolated by technology, a man takes a leap and finds a new friendship in the sky. However, before long his escape is threatened. Will he find strength enough to save his new friends? In a confused and data-drenched world, it seems you can only rely on your wits, worms and feathers to dodge oblivion. Oh, and Quantum theory. 'Engaging, innovative and original comedy from an expert comedian' (ComedyToWatch.wordpress.com, Camden Fringe). 'Jackanory on drugs' (Number9Reviews.blogspot.com, Manchester Fringe). 'Beautiful writing' (John Higgs).

About Steve Vertigo

Steve Vertigo's Murmuration is a sharp avian comedy romp in which a man, abandoned by society and isolated by technology, takes a leap and finds unexpected friendship among a vast flock of starlings. As his new bond in the sky faces threat, he must call on wit, worms and feathers — and a dash of quantum theory — to dodge oblivion. Performed at the Mint Studio, this 50-minute show blends comedy, theatre and storytelling for audiences aged 16 and over. Strobe lighting is in use and strong language features throughout.

Why see this show?

An inventive, warmly told comedy that mixes AI, nature and human isolation into something genuinely surprising — a story about connection found in the most unlikely of skies.
