Description

Nominated for the Best Show Award at this year’s Leicester Comedy Festival. Copernicus Now is a joyful and surreal caper in which the Renaissance-era astronomer reshapes the solar system and brings hope to humanity. Michael Brunström is a winner of the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality, and a member of the award-winning Weirdos Comedy Collective. 'Sense-bendingly entertaining… great, crazy, never-to-be-forgotten comedy' **** (Scotsman). 'An artistic genius' **** (Skinny). 'Hilariously silly… bucking the mainstream trend for everyday anecdotes in favour of unabashed absurdity' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Serial innovator' (Time Out). 'What the…?' (Metro).

Yes Yes Yes. Go and see this feast of a show.

It's not for nothing that Michael Brunström has a reputation for being fearless, absurd and truly original: he's all that.

This show is funny, warm, ridiculous, clever, absurd (of course), surprising and a tiny bit hopeful. I felt roused, inspired and immediately in very safe hands.

Best comedy I've seen all Fringe.*
