Furiozo: Man Looking for Trouble

If you haven’t already go see Piotr! He does something that a lot of fringe shows even big money ones fail at: which is to bring soul and heart into a performance and generous artistry when talking about a relevant topic- toxic masculinity and to do it in a beautiful way that doesn’t reinforce it!

I love Furiozo.

It has been a pleasure to host Furiozo: Man Looking for Trouble at our venue. The show embodies the spirit of the Fringe in every way; he makes you laugh (a lot), cry, feel shocked and confused and excited all at once. And if the show being a rollercoaster of emotion isn’t enough, make sure to chat to the man behind Furiozo after it ends and you’ll find out just what a kind soul he really is. This show has been a delight to witness every night; chase scenes with audience members out into the bar area, Furiozo psyching himself up before the show by shadow boxing around the bar, leaving the room covered in (fake) blood at the end, and witnessing the demise of his props as they fall apart over time, due to the high action and intense performance. His passion for performing is clear from the very start, and this show should not be missed. Just make sure to get down as early as possible to secure a seat for the show, as he has been at capacity the whole run (and rightfully so).

God, I love Furiozo.

The man looking for trouble found my heart. An incredible show that dances seamlessly between chaos, rage, tenderness and joy. Piotr—with his movement, commitment and sensitivity—is mesmerizing: clown, devil, conductor, sweetheart all in one. No one else could make this show. It’s just fucking beautiful.

Note to audiences: please don’t talk during the show—everything will become clear in the end.

Absolutely brilliant, had the audience captivated and hysterical without a word. Despite the tough exterior, Piotr remains a compelling character with humour and heart and an ending that had us all thinking.

The best show I saw this fringe festival. I loved it so much I went to watch it thrice. Piotr embodies the character of Furiozo with such innocence and honesty that the audience laughs, cheers on, groans and cries with him. Piotr's movements are a delight to watch and the way he manages to get the audience to enact roles without talking or explaining anything to them only proves that his actions can speak louder than words. He breaks character at multiple moments but the switch is so seamless that it's hard to tell when Piotr is Furiozo and when he is himself. It was an absolutely hilarious show with a realistic storyline that made it heartwarming and wrenching at the same time. I would recommend it to everyone attending the fringe and I hope Piotr is back next year!
Lots of love

Not a single word & yet he is able to convey a story & make a whole packed room laugh

Furiozo is a wonderful show performed by a mighty clown. Completely dialled into the room, Furiozo somehow manages to be utterly fearsome and then the softest, safest, most tender presence of all. He turns the whole audience into his family. I laughed from my belly, I cried, and I left feeling like this barbarian was my new best friend. Hilarious and beautiful and high-octane and poignant - this is one of my very top recommendations. Couldn’t ask for more from a show. GO!

Somehow I had no idea what was going yet knew exactly what was happening at the same time! Even with a moth guard in his mouth the entire time, Furizo is an excellent storyteller throw expressive movements and grunts. It was very fun to watch especially since Furizo is not too bad to look at either. I laughed, I almost cried at his moving story and I felt safe. Even the audience had a great time being part of the show. Highly recommend for some late night organized madness.

Furiozo is an incredible storyteller, merging clowning with high energy comedy and grunge music in an hour of barely contained chaos. His show innovates an agressive, yet respectful form of audience participation that keeps the crowd engaged, and entertained, all while telling an evocative story of toxic cycles and the humanity of those within them. Worth a watch!
