About the show
Barroz Productions presents The Letterman at the Billiard Room as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Call the Letterman — the world's best alphabetarian — when the alphabet won't behave. Performed by Bryce Flint-Somerville, the show combines clown, puppetry and audience participation as the Letterman battles, cajoles and pleads his way to getting his letters in line. Designed to delight children and adults of all ages, the show runs for 45 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 5 and over.
Why see this show?
Puppetry, clowning and a wonderfully absurd premise — The Letterman is the kind of family show that has adults laughing just as hard as the kids. Bryce Flint-Somerville brings real physical comedy craft to a show that's pure fun from start to finish.
