INTERNATIONAL WORD CLOWN
GORDON SOUTHERN PRESENTS
STAMP STAMP
EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL 2007
GILDED BALLOON TEVIOT – BILLIARD ROOM
9pm (Ends 10pm)
1st – 27th AUGUST 2007 (not 13th)

Following the success of 2006's "The Solutions" Gordon Southern returns with a brand new hour of joyful bunny foot stomps, comedy kickings and passport tattoos from another year of global gag gathering. This show is a brilliant postcard from everywhere.

Gordon is an exceptionally well travelled word clown. In the last year he has played Kosovo, Bahrain, France, Ireland, Cyprus, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Hong Kong...And he completed his fifth tour of Australia and married his Australian girlfriend, a REAL clown. In Oz he's become a festival favourite and is one of only four international acts in the Adelaide Comedy Hall of Fame!

The sound of his now tatty passport being stamped resonates through the show as he experiences the now guilty pleasure of racking up air miles. He sees from his window seat the spectre of global warming hovering over the wing of the plane; will the trees he planted in Wales on New Years Day be enough to downsize his stamp-stomping carbon footprint?

Catch this one time voice of a certain famous car insurance parrot, this global desecrator of religious texts (not Muslim ones, he's not an idiot) this star you may not have seen before due to smog and light pollution, this first class international word clown.

Stamp Stamp is directed by the award winning Phil Whelans.
