THE AWARD-WINNING TRAGICOMEDY SKETCH TROUPE RETURN WITH A BRAND NEW SHOW
CASUAL VIOLENCE: A KICK IN THE TEETH
WHERE: Just The Tonic @ The Caves – The Fancy Room
WHEN: 2nd – 26th August 2012, 22:00
HOW MUCH: £8 (£7 concessions)
After an award-winning, five star run in 2011, Casual Violence return to the Edinburgh Fringe to spin new yarns of tragicomedy sketch terror.
Who is the Poppyman?
How do you defeat an unbeatable Battleships supercomputer?
And who is the Poppyman?
We promise to answer at least two of these questions.
Watch and laugh at our cast of outcasts as they’re relentlessly battered with the misery stick. After their breakthrough hit in 2011 with their award-winning “Casual Violence: Choose Death”, the tragicomedy sketch troupe present another uniquely twisted character show.
Each member of Casual Violence will once again take on the lead character in their own storyline – charting the course of their own destruction. Each will set out to make their world a better place – and each will finish worse off than when they started…
A Kick In The Teeth is written by James Hamilton (nominated for the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality 2011) and given a live keyboard soundtrack by Adam D. Felman.
Casual Violence are Luke Booys, Greg Cranness, Adam D. Felman, Dave Newman, Alex Whyman, and James Hamilton.
