Pick of the Fringe
Direct from their Edinburgh Fringe debut comes a two-troll clown comedy about connection, scape(goat)ing and being misunderstood.
‘A truly (troll-ly?) delightful afternoon of escapist whimsy’
Telegraph

Fed up with years of misrepresentation, villainization and exclusion, two trolls find themselves in a theatre, ready and desperate to tell their side of the story and the truth about those three goats.

Inspired by Norwegian folklore, Troll is a heartwarming mash-up of music, storytelling, audience interaction, physical theatre and clown.

Part of Soho Rising Festival 2024, a celebration of new work created by comedians, writers and performers who have taken part in our Writers’ Lab, Comedy Lab or Cabaret & Drag Lab programmes.
