The Biggest Unborn Artist of All Time!

From the Malcolm Hardee Award nominees for Comic Originality comes the world premiere of Egg — a joyful, surreal circus comedy concert that cracks open the meaning of success, identity, and growing up (or not).

An uplifting musical comedy odyssey bursting with physical comedy, circus tricks, and funky original tunes — wrapped in comical sets and glorious chaos. Tender, ridiculous and quietly profound, this is a celebration of being yourself — and if you can’t be yourself, be Egg, because Egg is awesome.

Hatched from the award-winning creators of Fish Saw, THERE IS NO I IN FAIL, and The Birdmann and Egg, this brand-new show asks the ultimate question: Is it really about what you want to be when you grow up… or what if you never grow up, like Egg? Will Egg survive the big wide world — and can an unborn artist become a star?

Praised as “Utterly Endearing Idiosyncratic Genius” (The Scotsman), Egg blends absurdist theatre, musical comedy, and contemporary clowning into a heart-warming Fringe delight for audiences who love originality, imagination and shows that are as silly as they are sincere.

Perfect for fans of alternative comedy, devised theatre, physical theatre and circus-led performance, Egg is a shell-shocking reminder that greatness can come from the most unexpected places.
