This listing is from a previous year.  Search for current listings.

The Boy returns with his award-winning show. It’s still good. The silent comedy show that has created a lot of talk returns to Edinburgh by popular demand. Stand-up with no talking, this show combines absurdity with genius. Through clever and charming humour, The Boy creates a world of possibilities where the only certainty is laughter. You’ll laugh, you’ll scream and ultimately end up like The Boy - lost for words. ‘A truly magical experience' ★★★★★ (Chortle), ‘Utterly spectacular! Endlessly inventive, hysterically funny. Sublime physical lunacy. Fight for a ticket’ (Tim Arthur, Time Out).
