Oliver Coleman brings his latest stand-up show to The Tron at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, presented by Token Events and Fine & Dandy Productions. Combining pointed observational comedy with absurd flights of fancy, the show is described as profound and profane, personal and totally absurd — a rollercoaster of outrageous theatrics, off-the-rails improvising and elegant writing. Coleman searches for meaning in the minutiae of life, creating a show that is silly, beautiful and a helluva lotta fun. Age guidance is 18+; the show contains strong language.
Why see this show?
Coleman's comedy is genuinely hard to categorise — observational one moment, surreal the next, always searching for something real underneath the absurdity. If you want stand-up that surprises you, this is worth your evening.
