My Date with Pierce Brosnan is a free interactive clown comedy in which Mademoiselle Cafetière, a lonely clown, meets her dream man: Hollywood actor Pierce Brosnan — who happens to be a talking dummy controlled by the audience. Using QR codes scanned on their phones, audience members type what they want Pierce Brosnan to say, and he says it without a filter. Created by Alistair Aitcheson, the show invites you to play matchmaker or wreak havoc in what it bills as the most bizarre love story ever to grace the stage.
Why see this show?
One of the most genuinely anarchic concepts at the Fringe — you hold the script. The audience-controlled dummy format means every show is wildly different, and the clown romance framing gives the chaos just enough heart to make it work.
