About This Event

Lawrence Dodd brings his show *This Can’t Be It* to Teviot Row House in Edinburgh on Wednesday 5 August at 8.40pm. The performance blends clowning with existential unease as Dodd, a perpetually overwhelmed figure, attempts to deliver a moment of profound insight while repeatedly sabotaging his own efforts. It is a playful, chaotic hour that fuses performance art with live comedy, driven by a character who appears both lost and resolute in his quest for meaning. Dodd’s work has attracted attention for its willingness to pair silliness with genuine uncertainty, resulting in an unpredictable and engaging evening. Tickets are available via the venue’s website.

The performance is a semi-improvised, feverish and open-hearted exploration of how we stay open to the mystery when everything is closing us down. It blends performance art and contemporary clowning, led by Lawrence Dodd, who plays a perpetually overwhelmed figure desperately trying to make sense of life.

Lawrence Dodd is the performer in this show.

The performance takes place at Teviot Row House in Edinburgh on Wednesday 5 August at 8.40pm.
