"Lovable duo” The Scotsman

Direct from their critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe debut comes TROLL: an award-winning two-troll, clown comedy about connection, scape(goat)ing and being misunderstood.

Fed up with years of misrepresentation, villanization and exclusion, two trolls find themselves in a theatre, ready and desperate to tell their side of the story and the truth about those three goats. Inspired by Norwegian folklore, Troll is a heartwarming mash-up of music, storytelling, audience interaction, physical theatre and clown.

The show has previously been performed at Underbelly (Edinburgh Fringe 2023), Camden People’s Theatre (London), SALT (Oslo Fringe), Resort Komedii (Warsaw) and Brighton Spiegeltent (Brighton Fringe)

Music in the show is composed by Chris Larner
