About Vlad Ilich
Vlad Ilich brings a stand-up comedy show to Just the Spare Room at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show places Vlad in an impossible position on the chessboard of life, forced to choose between destiny and duty. With the board apparently set for glory, the true immortal game turns out to unfold far beyond the 64 squares. The show is described as smart, goofy and consistently funny, with a thread of subtle, dark humour running throughout. Suitable for audiences aged 14 and over, with strong language.
Why see this show?
A clever comedy that uses chess as a lens for much bigger questions of fate and choice. Vlad Ilich finds genuine laughs in the tension between the life you plan and the move you actually have to make — sharp, goofy and consistently funny.
