Description

Known as “The Sardinian Forrest Gump”, Mattia Sedda is an immigrant with the dream of being a professional actor in the UK. He has trained with the best, learnt from the best, and worked at the best... fast-food venues. And now he presents his magnum opus: Choin is a very professional theatrical showcase. A heart-warming journey full of nonsensical humour, chaos, nostalgia and humanity.

I laughed hysterically for the whole time. Mattia is a clowning expert and a guru of audience interaction!

Choin is an effervescent rollercoaster of the absurd and hysterical, a hilarious showcase of the serious role of an actor… It is a wonderfully high octane and erratic whirlwind which brings very big laughs and and a touch of the sentimental too, highly reccomend!

Made an account to review this, genuinely haven’t laughed this much in so long, please from the bottom of my heart go and see this show! It’s like staring into the eyes of god.

Truly one of the best shows at the fringe, throat hurts from laughing so much. Clownery at it's finest!

Harrison Cole 128 days ago

Mattia is a marvel! Choin is a hilarious and surreal exploration of the role of The Actor™️ that will have you doubling over in laughter throughout!

James Darby 128 days ago

A brilliantly unique show and a fantastic example of clowning at its very best. It’s impossible not to laugh out loud from start to finish! The bizarre brilliance of the fringe at its very best and a must see!!!

Hilarious! He had us in stitches since the start. Personable, unique, idiotic! Absurd and unexpected, this Italian will make it as an actor in the UK!

A wee gem of a show. Instantly captivates and draws you into his world. This show delights in the unexpected and diverting. Mattia Sedda is a very talented physical performer but poking through the clowning facade is a sharp script and well thought out gags. Free Fringe is always a very mixed bag but this show is one of the good ones!

A charming and very professional actor plunges in to the depths of various roles with all gusto and no judgement. Despite tech mishaps, (though I can never tell with clowns if tech mishaps are true or part of the mayhem) Mattia delivered a powerful, dynamic show with ridiculous songs, empassioned story telling, and a deep intimacy & trust with the audience. This actor can do it all! Especially if it involves flying…

This show is gloriously foolish! Mattia Seda is a Sardinian clown/actor poking fun at being just that in the UK. Lots of fun and all kinds of silly bits. Go see him!

Giulia Morrone 137 days ago

We had a great night! Very recommend especially if you like nonsensical humor. Mattia is a passionate person and you can feel the love for acting

I stumbled into this show not knowing what to expect. I am happy I did. The performer, Mattia Sedda goes all out, he had me dying laughing and I didn't know why I was laughing it was just funny. He is a Sardinian man trying to be a British Actor... I think. It is the perfect staging of idiocy. Go check it out.
