Description

New Year’s Eve 1999. Star-crossed lovers. A quarrel at the strike of midnight. Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Natalie Palamides (Nate, Netflix) presents an achingly tender 90s rom-drom (romantic dramedy) which asks you to look at every argument from two sides. 'Outrageous and electrifying comedy' ***** (Guardian). 'I sat open-mouthed with surprise and excitement through most of this 21st-century clowning, laughed often and found myself moved to tears at the end… Stunning' ***** (Times). 'Hilarious and unsettling... an undoubted triumph.' ***** (Skinny). 'Palamides is probably the world's most talented and boundary-pushing purveyor of this type of comedy' (Telegraph).

Across the Arts (4/5 stars) 118 days ago

Weer is a tremendous piece of work, deceptively shambolic, unsettlingly funny.

one of the most thrillingly original comedians working today

North West End UK (5/5 stars) 124 days ago

A ground-breaking show that will go down in Traverse history, for its late night, over-running, mess-making absurdity and risk-taking hilarity. Natalie’s audience-glancing smirk ranks very high on my list of brilliant things at this years’ fringe.

You’ll never know what’s coming next – you may have to duck a flying football, or be pulled up to dance – but I bet you’ll be utterly won over by the fearless absurdity of it all.

Fringe Review 129 days ago

In WEER, Natalie Palamides is half man, half woman and all rom-com drama, in this clown and storytelling tour de force. In a clever and nuanced way Palamides manages to really question the fable of romantic love and everything we do for it. Her clowning skills are second to none, she manages to subvert clowning while keeping the key aspects of it.

Bouquets & Brickbats (5/5 stars) 131 days ago

Essentially, Weer is a just a great big slice of the absurd, expert clowning performed with such reckless abandon that you can’t help loving it. Palamides is now well and truly on my radar and I’m already looking forward to what she does next.
