Mad, risqué and uniquely eccentric - internationally critically acclaimed and award-winning Gaulier-trained clown Trygve (pronounced 'trigvee') Wakenshaw presents his beautifully strange stream-of-consciousness idiocy in NAUTILUS.
Exploring the form of mime to its most idiosyncratic peripheries, NAUTILUS is a salute to the human imagination.
Trygve's long-limbed body shape shifts into a multitude of characters, scenarios and jokes at a finger-snapping pace. This energetic and hilarious show features a cast of various animal characters, a very naughty man, and an answer to the immortal question of why did the chicken cross the road.
Trygve's hilarious and fun hit physical comedies are consistently a sell-out at festivals around the world.
‘So magical, so delightfully playful. Wakenshaw leaves his audience slack-jawed with admiration.’★★★★ Scotsman
‘The kind of funny you get when not just the rug but the whole floor and foundations are pulled right out from under you.’ ★★★★ Guardian
