Description

The award-winning comedian returns with his 15th solo show. Fresh from supporting Jason Manford on tour, including two nights at The Palladium. It’s about life. It’s about death. It’s about getting knocked down, and getting up again. It’s about laughing in the face of it all. It’s about an hour. 'Birdman, whose jovially sour tales of his two strokes rides high on his own excellence' (Dominic Maxwell, Times). 'This thought-provoking, soul-bearing show is a joy. Such weighty material, handled with the utmost respect' (Skinny).

Heartwarming and life affirming comedy from the master.

Warmly delivered with a mischievous grin, the audience leaves feeling lifted and like they have made a new friend.

One of the best I have seen this fringe.

Superb. Up to his (usual) high standards. Classy performers such as Birdman give prestige to the PBH Free Fringe.

Absolutely loved this show - funny, touching, honest and real. Markus knows how to write a proper Edinburgh show. Highly recommended.
