COMEDY

Olaf Falafel and the Cheese of Truth
Olaf Falafel, the subject of over 75 million views on Vine, brings his debut hour show to the Fringe. Expect nonsense as we journey through a year in the life of an idiot where the only winners are stupidity and silliness. 'Olaf Falafel is an idiot, and wouldn’t have it any other way' (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk). ‘Skilfully delivered absurdist musings’ (ThreeWeeks). ‘Olaf Falafel is like a chocolate digestive - very moreish’ (Bruce Dessau, BeyondTheJoke.co.uk).

THEATRE

Skin of the Teeth
Thriller meets fairy tale. Nineteen-year-old Nicholas finds a fistful of teeth and is propelled into a perilous world of manipulation, ritual and dangerous men. 'Startlingly innovative' (Fest) Fat Content return to the Fringe with award-winning poet and playwright Anna Beecher's searing retelling of The Boy Who Went Forth to Learn to Shudder. Inventive and surreal, this boldly physical one-man show explores fear, fearlessness and the manipulation of young men. An ancient story with a modern heartbeat.

Performed and created by young Hackney artists.

As seen on The Royal Variety Performance 2015 (ITV), Have I Got News For You (BBC One), Mock the Week (BBC Two), and Question Time (BBC One). 'A first class comic' (Guardian).
