The solo show Absolutely tells the story of my journey from extreme introvert to performing in Cirque du Soleil. It's a personal, playful and big hearted show about unexpectedly finding a place to belong.

Now I am launching it onto the global stage with a tour to London and the largest performing arts event in the world, Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

I first performed the show at Perth FRINGE WORLD Festival 2014. It was very successful, having a SOLD OUT season and receiving Runner Up for the ABC Performance Award.
ABC Perth called it “A small and entirely winning one-man show” .

This is my debut at Edinburgh and I'm excited by the challenges it presents. However I can't make this special opportunity happen alone.

So please give generously to make this Edinburgh Fringe tour come true.

Absolutely has been designed as touring show, so I have tried to keep expenses down as much as possible. Even still, touring to London and Edinburgh is very expensive.

Your support will go directly towards to the following expenses:
Venue hire for London previews   £450
Rehearsal space hire, London       £300

I will not be earning a wage for the time I am in UK, and even with successful Pozible funds I still need to pay for other expenses out of my own pocket.

Performing at the Edinburgh Festival presents enormous opportunities, with producers, theatre makers and performers constantly looking for something new. Preview shows in London are essential in building a UK profile and preparing for Edinburgh. So the only real challenge is adequate financial resources. Achieving that frees me to focus on performing and conduct the marketing required to make the production a huge success.
