Sam Simmons

For his Fringe debut, the Australian puts his all into a song-and-goof show about the things you find down the back of the sofa. His absurdist observations may be lacking in spontaneity but his methods are inventive and being from the ‘if in doubt, shout’ school of comedy, Simmons could do a roaring trade on the student union circuit.
