Description
Is he man? Or is he banana? In this solo clown show, Michael Galligan ('...of considerable wit and guile' – List) is stuck in a box with only one hour before he ripens. Banana employs stand-up, physical comedy, karaoke, magic and more to explore what it means to be the world's most popular fruit.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Michael Galligan you brave, funny man! A most entertaining show. You have a gift for comic timing and the absurd. I never would have believed our lives could be so much the better if we only knew our bananas better! Who knew!? Go and see people. A hoot!

BRILLIANT! Imaginative, funny, totally different (and a little scary!). This is the kind of show that makes the Fringe special - don’t waste your time and money on run of the mill comedy shows you can see on TV and make sure you see this!

Absolutely brilliant. The entire hour had me even more hooked than when I read the prompt for this show. Very confrontational and extremely funny. If you want to laugh for an entire hour and learn about bananas like youve never learned before id strongly recommend this show. Michael is brilliant and brave and he deserves sold out shows every night.

GO SEE THIS SHOW! This was one of the most creative, hilarious, innovative shows I’ve ever seen- I was lucky enough to be one of the audience participants, and I’ve never had so much fun.. genius writing and performance; I’ll never look at a banana the same way again. Ever.

Banana was great! So funny and also thought-provoking, silly audience participation and so fun to watch Michael navigate it all as a one-man machine. Well done!

I never thought I would be so emotional over the extinction of a banana. It was existential, hilarious, went places I was not expecting, and just absolute bananas. LOVED IT!

Sorry, you're at the Edinburgh Fringe and you've not seen Banana? What the hell is wrong with you?
Absolutely superb tour-de-force from a banana or two who I had never met before and absolytely blew me away. Hilarious, wonderful, loving, earnest; what's more to like?
Go see it. Top 5 out of 28 shows we've seen this year.

Hilarious show, very bold and strange! A small audience in our show but it didn’t affect his confidence or his performance. Would recommend!

What a strange and wonderful show! Even if you had told me how it was going to go I wouldn’t have been able to conceive of it. Such interesting and ridiculous humor, whilst also tickling your WTF bone. If you’ve ever liked anything absurd definitely go see it. My 14 year old will NEVER forget this show. Good job!

Banana is a wonderful show. You’ll laugh a ton, but not like “hahaha!”, more like “hahaha?” You’ll be charmed, confused, amused, and possibly aroused. A ridiculous and memorable way to spend an afternoon at Fringe.
