Description
A comedy show about Babar, king of the elephants and one of the most adored childhood cartoons around the world. Babar is almost 93 years old and is currently having a little problem... a drinking problem. It's not just Babar who's aged, some modern-day critics are suggesting that his stories are colonialist. Are they? Come and find out more about Babar, the real and royal elephant in the room. A room joined by two other hilarious guests that you can't miss.

This show was wild! I had no idea what I was in for, but I’m so glad I came. Pablo is such an excellent performer and story teller. His interaction with the audience was my favorite part, and the plastic bag made me laugh for days. Bravo Pablo!

Pablo’s show is a masterclass in absurdist comedy, blending physical humour with sharp social critique. It navigates the ridiculous and the insightful with effortless charm - he captivates the audience from start to finish. The show’s imaginative chaos, clever clowning, and hilarious commentary on colonialism make it an unforgettable experience that leaves you laughing from start to finish.

Pablo seems to come out from another planet. His show is like an amazing dream, never knowing where it's gonna lead you to...
What a clown, what an artist! The kind of show that reminds you why you like art. Viva Babar !

Excellent, stupid, ridiculous, crazy, imaginative, FUN. We went on a day with minor tech issues (due to the previous show finishing late) - and Pablo turned it into a highlight of the show. This is the kind of show that should be getting huge crowds, because there aren't many shows as weird, and as well-executed, as this one. A real festival highlight and a show I will be comparing others to in the future.

I’ve seen this show multiple times and it has never failed to make me squirm with laughter in my seat and surprise me with new hysterical moments every single time. Pablo Lechuga has created a truly perfect show of absurd meta-clownery, that merges both ridiculousness with a surprisingly deep, insightful message. From his questionable yet courteous elephant trunk, his generous sharing of his “salted…PEANUTS!”, to his iconoclastic yet somehow still very pop-culture-versed character friends, I absolutely can’t wait to catch another one of his shows again!

Such a fantastic show, completely original and incredible. We have seen hundreds of shows but this is by far my favourite at the fringe! Such a pleasure to see it! Pablo is incredible in what he does, definitely keep an eye out for him in the future!

One of the most original, engaging, and completely unpredictable comedy shows at Fringe. Endless fun, calculated randomness and "WTF" moments, nonstop laughs (except for occasional animal noises from the audience). Go see it, no excuses!

Incredible clowning. Laughed all the way through. Genius and highly original. It stuck with me for days. It’s the kind of show I’d expect to see selling out the Soho Theatre.
