There's only one Thermos in The Thermos Museum, and it's full of jokes. But not normal jokes – here the jokes are surreal. Come and watch The Curator narrate his true-ish cartoon stories, projected onto a big screen. Martin Hardee Awards 2024. Spirit of Manchester Fringe 2024.

About the show

The Thermos Museum is a surreal alternative comedy show performed by a character known as The Curator, who narrates true-ish cartoon stories projected onto a big screen. There is only one thermos in The Thermos Museum, and it is full of jokes — but not normal jokes. Performed by a semi-professional company in association with PBH's Free Fringe, the show runs for 50 minutes at the Lower venue as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Entry is free.

Why see this show?

Projected cartoon stories narrated live by a curator with only one thermos — this is exactly the kind of unclassifiable, quietly brilliant oddity that makes the Free Fringe worth exploring. Surreal, funny and genuinely its own thing.
