Andrew Clover's Crazy Kid's Show

Andrew Clover

It is no surprise that this comedian and children's story writer is instantly likeable in his performance of make-believe fantasy. In this irresistibly enchanting hour of fairytale and comedy, Clover transforms all children into princesses and Buzz Lightyears, whilst parents are turned into giants and witches. He is nervous at first, but who can blame him, when he's trying to please an audience full of five-year-olds? He needn't worry though, as his imaginative creation quickly has its effect, and everyone is soon carried away with the make-believe. Children are asked to input ideas and Clover is quick-witted and thinks on his feet. Shout out when your hand isn't up though, and you'll be in trouble; slightly military perhaps, but it certainly gets our attention.

Pleasance Courtyard, 7, 14, 21 Aug, 11.30am (12.30pm), , £7.00 (£5.00), , fpp 10
