Shows

Nautilus

The third in Trygve’s underwater trilogy of shows, Nautilus features a cast of various animal characters, a very naughty man, and an answer to the immortal question of why did the chicken cross the road.

This was nominated for the top comedy prize at Edinburgh Fringe 2015 and has been touring the world since then.

Kraken

Kraken was born of playfulness and improvisation. A man alone on a stage makes the most of his imagination, the playfulness of the audience and his own remarkably long limbs.

This show opens with one of the most remarkable entrances, explores the audience as a musical instrument, and briefly stars one of the last unicorns.

Squidboy

The solo show that launched a thousand ships. This odd, whimsical narrative comedy tells the story of a heartbroken fisherman and the Squid which haunts his dreams.

Can an imaginary friend have imaginary friends?

Squidboy was Trygve’s first solo show and introduced the world (or at least a few hundred people who go to fringe festivals) to his brand of naughty, naive, imaginative mime comedy. (N.B. this show contains too much talking to really be called a mime show)

Different Party

Co-created with the inimitable Barnie Duncan, this 2017 show has toured the world and won comedy awards.

"Business drones Grareth Krubb and Dennis Chang whittle away the minutes in the barren office of Ruck's Leather Interiors, patiently waiting for the phone call that may or may not give them something to actually do. In between the drudgery of the 9-5, the minutiae of office existence are transformed into incredible slapstick as these two clown and comedy performers come together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Dialogue is minimal, but jokes are plentiful, in this extraordinary celebration of the banal."
