Prepare for an evening of insightful and relatable comedy as Thrum, a showcase of diverse comedic talent, arrives at Edinburgh's esteemed Queen's Hall on Monday 17 August. This highly anticipated performance promises to dissect the minutiae of our daily existence, unearthing laughter from the seemingly ordinary. The show's strength lies in its ability to illuminate the peculiar details that often go unnoticed, transforming everyday observations into genuinely amusing revelations. Audiences are invited to embark on a journey that celebrates the humour inherent in the mundane, offering a fresh perspective on the world around us. Tickets for this unique comedic experience are priced at £15, presenting an accessible opportunity to enjoy a night of sharp wit and observational brilliance.
There’s the sound of somewhere else. And the permanence of a plant pot and the ubiquity of a phrase and the heartbreaking brevity of a very long time. There’s figs and worms and an old dog rejecting a blanket. There’s a woman, on a train, wearing a badge. There’s the first beep of a smoke alarm and there’s a daffodil in December and there’s the condition of fruit. There’s a hand in bed and there’s stuff on the stairs and there’s a mark on my jumper and there’s a massive tree in storage on a farm in Kent. There’s nothing to say and there’s the thought of rotting and there’s the name of a feeling and there’s the smell of tobacco. There’s the twelfth floor of a hotel and the far end of a platform at Tamworth train station. There’s a duty to act and there’s a resistance to growth and there’s a new place up the road and there’s a completely redundant volume control. There’s a toilet in Hong Kong and a coffee shop in Melbourne and the passage of light through a building and deliberately making things much more difficult than they actually need to be. And. There’s music, more or less throughout, at least two funny voices and upwards of three jokes.
