Description
Steve Otis Gunn has been uncomfortable since 1991, when he realised he didn't know what to do with his arms. Could it be residual guilt from being indoctrinated into a life of crime by his parents? Or the hallucinogens in his baby bottle? We may never know. Expect silliness interspersed with true stories of feeling awkward told in a dark comic style. (At the end of each performance an audience member will be invited onstage to be part of a special episode of Television Times Podcast which is hosted by Steve.)Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

This is the type of show that a fringe festival should really be all about. In reality though; with high prices and competition for audiences it seldom is. A challenging; marmite show that defies straight forward categorisation and pushes boundaries. Although labelled as ‘comedy’ in the reality the Steve Otis Gunn’s comedy persona is a knowing parody of a comedian. He uses cheap, tacky props to lure his audience into a place where he shares some of the darkest visceral stories about childhood you are likely to hear at the festival. It’s not a misery memoir; there is redemption too coupled with flippant interjections by a brightly coloured ‘wheel of fortune’. The first time I saw this show I wasn’t sure if I had just seen the worst Edinburgh show or the best. Whatever it was I knew I was totally riveted throughout. Must see.

A powerful, hilarious and unique show. Unlike anything I have seen before at the festival. Deeply personal and evocative. Would strongly encourage
anybody to experience it.

A cleverly crafted show that is funny, endearing and beautifully vulnerable. One to watch for a star on the rise.

Extremely vulnerable and gripping storytelling. I felt extremely connected to the performer!
