The Amazing Banana Brothers

By Bill O’Neill & His Brother – Edinburgh Preview Tue 25 – Thu 27 Jul 23 60 minutes
You either die an artist or you live long enough to see yourself become a stuntman. For his Edinburgh Fringe debut, Bill O'Neill uses every trick up his sleeve to explore the oldest one in the book.

Directed by the Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning Natalie Palamides (Nate, Laid), this hilarious debut follows two daredevil brothers attempting the impossible — slipping on 1000 banana peels. Through a surreal exploration of loss, failure, masculinity and death-defying pratfalls, O’Neill challenges the limits of the human body and spirit – one banana peel at a time.

This performance is not suitable for anyone with a banana allergy.

‘[O'Neill] evolves the time-honored comedic bit of slipping on a banana peel to performance art (on top of repeating perfectly executed, classical physical humor).’
