Michael Brunström - ‘The Golden Age of Steam’ - Friday 13 November 2015, 9pm
Following a successful Edinburgh run, absurdist alternative comedian Michael Brunström brings Malcolm Hardee Award winning show to the Nottingham Comedy Festival. The increasingly prestigious Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality, founded in 2005, commemorates ‘one of the most anarchic figures of his era’.
‘The Golden Age of Steam’ is innovative cutting-edge comedy at its best, an extravaganza of surrealism and spectacle. Using a combination of his arms, legs, voice, some ping-pong balls and a tiny fern, Michael takes his audience on an imaginary journey back to a nostalgic era characterised by glamour, speed and comfort . . . or perhaps not?
Kate Copstick of The Scotsman wrote: ‘This is a strange and wonderful hour. . . . I absolutely loved it. ★★★★’
Steve Bennett of Chortle wrote: ‘For proper alternative, we have to turn to Michael Brunström, . . . Big, bold and dumb, this is precisely the sort of thing should be in an alternative new act showcase. First place!’
London is Funny wrote: ‘Michael Brunström had had a bowl full of Andy Kaufmann for breakfast, and burped out a wonderfully absurd set. . . . The fact hat he resembled an ungainly European classical conductor having the time of his life, only wove more magic in my opinion. More of this please.’
Metro wrote: ‘What the . . .?’
What better venue could there be for a show about classic steam locomotives than a double-decker bus? ‘The Golden Age of Steam’ is being performed aboard Bob Slayer’s unique BlundaBus, which is criss-crossing the country, bringing a new kind of fringe experience. www.blundabus.com
