Trygve Wakenshaw: Silly Little Things (Mime)
Trygve Wakenshaw brings his hilarious mime-clown-comedy show to Mumbai Comedy Festival. Light and silly, absurd and Dada, and a sort of autobiographical, introspective look at all the silly little things that can make or break a friendship.
Ranked in the top 5 of best-reviewed comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe for its debut season, Silly Little Things is a hilarious, moving and physically extraordinary new show by the industry-leading mime Trygve Wakenshaw. Silly Little Things is at once subversive and sublime – a masterclass of mime from the man who paved the way for so many contemporary clowns. In this new show Trygve builds an experimental playground and lets his imagination run riot. Spinning ridiculous scenes out of the smallest funny ideas, and conjuring up slapstick magic, Silly Little Things is a space of wonder and joy. It’s about friendship and magic and what more could we want really?
Trygve’s hilarious and fun hit physical comedies are consistently a sell-out at festivals worldwide.
Wakenshaw’s recent awards include:
- Seoul Arts Award 2024;
- New Zealand International Comedy Festival – Best Comedy 2024;
- Com:media festival, Alytus, Lithuania – Best Performer 2023.
