NAUTILUS
Presented by TRYGVE WAKENSHAW
Saturday 1st june 2024
Mad, risqué and uniquely eccentric - Critically acclaimed and award-winning Gaulier-trained clown Trygve (pronounced 'trig-vee') Wakenshaw presents his beautifully strange stream-of-consciousness idiocy in NAUTILUS. 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 contains scenes with undertones of veganism, comedy, cowboys, and... cats. Exploring the form of mime to its most idiosyncratic peripheries, NAUTILUS is a salute to the human imagination.
‘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
‘Trygve is a Loony Toons creation made flesh...you can’t help but be carried away by the pure joy of his madcap landscapes.’ ★★★★ Fest
‘From Wakenshaw’s long limbed rubbery body, multiple characters, animals, even objects emerge. ... Nautilus is as intricately written as the most sophisticated comedy show.’ ★★★★ Herald Sun
‘The new king of silent comedy’ – The Guardian UK
