FUNNIEST SHOW
OSLO FRINGE
2023

A two-troll clown show about friendship, scape(goat)ing and being misunderstood.
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 Scandinavian folklore, Troll is a heartwarming mash-up of music, storytelling, audience interaction, physical theatre, and clown.

From the award-winning Oslo Fringe hit and 'hysterically funny' (Scenekunst.no) creators of Naughty Cabaret.

Performed and co-created by Marie Kallevik Straume and Anna Marie Simonsen.

Directed and co-created by Cecily Nash.

★★★★ “a beautifully daft gem, notable for the precision and patience of its clowning.” The Skinny
★★★★ "...(an) irresistibly silly show...tightly directed by Cecily Nash" The Guardian
★★★★ "Director Cecily Nash orchestrates the action smoothly and with an eye for the ridiculous, staging movements around the venue with an unnerving and entertaining peculiarity." The Wee Review
"A truly (troll-ly?) delightful afternoon of escapist whimsy.” The Telegraph (Listed as one of 56 of the funniest stand-up and sketch shows in Edinburgh 2023)

Winner of Oslo Fringe 2023 Funniest Show award, and listed in The Guardian & The Telegraph as one of the top comedies to see in Edinburgh 2024
