Description
Thomas is a remarkable, unconventional introvert – typically fiddling and fumbling his way through a 9 to 5 job, occasionally looking up to admire his wide-eyed and equally shy colleague, Daisy. His quest for romance encounters a boisterous boss, a rather troublesome briefcase that drags him through extraordinary events, and simply getting across a moving walkway in one piece. Through physical comedy, dance numbers and ludicrous characters, Rowan Armitt-Brewster, Lennie Longworth and Samuel Cunningham present a hilarious, heartwarming and deeply moving story. Buckle up for a bizarre adventure and discover it’s what’s inside that counts.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.

It's not that it's adorable, though it is, or that the cast has such perfect chemistry, though they do; it's their sheer skill that really puts this on another level. If I was teaching a clown or physical comedy class I'd make this a mandatory field trip. There are SO many cool little details in the performances to catch.
(Also, for such a small team it was remarkable how they seemed to be flyering everywhere. I bumped into them more than shows with 20 person casts! Their energy level is just phenomenal.)

This show was absolutely amazing ! The choreography was amazing, the characters are touching and they took me through every emotion. I laughed, cried, everything was great.
I'm really impressed and I don't have the words to describe this show, you simply have to go and see it !

absolutely incredible, one of the best shows i've seen at fringe this year (30+ and counting) and one of the most perfect pieces of theatre i've seen ever. so meticulously made, the actors and their characters move like stop motion animation and create a simple yet charming tale. i cannot recommend a brief case of crazy enough, a MUST SEE

I arrived at this show as a friend had suggested it because they knew one of the performers and just wanted to support them. I was tired, almost didn’t go and when I sat nearly dozed off straight away as I was so knackered. HOWEVER, once this show started I was instantly energised and alive. It’s absolutely brilliant, this is storytelling physical theatre of world class quality; it’s totally brilliant and it’s weaved into a beautiful story which brought a tear to my eye. Did I just say that this is a fantastic show; maybe I shouldn’t leave this review as I want to go and see it again, it’s that fab, and it deserves to sell out every night. Easily the best thing I have seen at this year’s Fringe

A charming and quirky piece of physical theatre, inventive and mischievous, with three talented leads managing to elicit comedy gold from everyday objects and situations. Great use of music. A recommended family show.

A brilliant show—fast-paced, sweet, and hilarious with impeccable physical comedy and movement. Genuinely heartwarming and very funny, with a lot of skill on display!

One of the most delightful things I’ve seen this year - clowning with a focus on communicating emotions and gestalts, in service of a simple warmhearted romance

Buster Keaton meets Mr. Bean in this slapstick love story between a painfully shy and socially inept young male office worker and his equally challenged female colleague. The choreography and the mime is superb. The facial expressions are wonderful and the portrayal of a normal office workers daily commute and chores hilarious.
