About Sam Michael
Sam Michael: The World's Oldest Man is Sam Michael's debut solo hour show, performed at the Hollywood venue on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show hilariously explores the experience of feeling older than your years — even in childhood — and nostalgically revisits the just-missed adventures of youth. The show also tells the story of Sam's encounter with the Guinness World Records' world's oldest man and the life-changing advice he received. Tickets are priced at £2.50 and the show is suitable for ages 16 and above.
Why see this show?
An affordable debut stand-up hour built around a genuinely funny premise — a comic who has always felt too old for his age, and the unexpected wisdom he picked up from the Guinness World Records holder.
