MMM...They're Small!
A funny, personal and poignant exposé of male infertility whilst celebrating a life without kids or large testicles. Through a one-man multi-character performance we see Callinan enduring baffling school medical checks, ineffective downstairs surgery and the unhelpful prognosis that his "floompytoomps had a low pontflaccation and yargo factor in the mid gonad region". A bigger picture of male infertility emerges from Damian’s support group where a rabble of characters who, in the pursuit of fatherhood, are riding the roller coaster of IVF, investing in bizarre fertility rituals and chasing internet surrogacy. But this is no sob story, it’s a show that explores how infertility shapes identity; Audiences are taken to the point of tears both of laughter and of compassion. The question remains - will he ever become a dad? Fringe Festival. Balcony, Bristo Square. Venue Box Office: 0131 668 1633. Fringe Box Office: 0131 226 0000
