Gaulier-trained clown Trygve Wakenshaw delights in this award-winning, critically acclaimed physical comedy about an imaginary friend who makes imaginary friends who make imaginary enemies who makes imaginary armies out of imaginary Scotsmen. What will happen? Nobody knows. Not even the squid.

Following sell-out seasons around the world, SQUIDBOY is in Auckland as part of the2014 NZ International Comedy Festival for five shows only at Auckland’s Herald Theatre this 13 – 17 May. Book ahead, sell-out expected.

(FOUR stars) " I defy anyone to not laugh themselves silly." The Guardian

(FOUR stars) “Squidboy” is superb! A one-man hour-long tour through silliness and surrealism, magic and mime, weirdness and wonder” Adelaide Theatre Guide

(FOUR stars) “Laugh out loud funny” Fringe Review

(FOUR stars) “I promise you will leave with a feeling of contentment, whimsy and just a dash of excitement.” Theatre People

Don’t stop there! Be sure to check out Trygve’s highly anticipated new physical comedy, KRAKEN playing Wellington 6- 10 May and Auckland 13 – 17 May as part of the 2014 NZ International Comedy Festival.

An idiotic, stormy, arthouse opera, KRAKEN is a stunning arena spectacular packed into a 60-seat venue. Oozing with whimsy. Dripping with charm. Leaking beautiful strange comedy. A dark and stormy stream-of-consciousness narrative about the fear of change and the ocean floor.

As part of the 2014 NZ International Comedy Festival in cahoots with Old Mout Cider, grab some mates and join us for a great night of laughs
from 24 April - 18 May.
