Wild Tales for Weird Folk is a new performance coming to Brighton Fringe this year from London based group, The Embers Collective.
Drawing from a growing contingent of between 20-25 storytellers, musicians, poets, clowns and performers, The Embers Collective have been putting on popular events for the last four years; in London, the UK and beyond.
Here the acclaimed performance and storytelling troupe have teamed up with Stumble Trip Theatre to tell some wild tales that involve stories, songs and clowning in a raucous show, totally unsuitable for children (but bring them anyway).
Featuring reluctant heroes, perverted warlords, talking horses, herbaceous kitchen invasions, dodgy shamans, toad licking, hippy sex cults and so much more. All underscored by an evolving, live musical score and packed with bangers that’ll have you up and dancing in your seats.
“Master storytellers.” (Timeout on The Embers Collective)
“Simply outstanding… in the delivery of multiple skills, classic storytelling and madcap humour.”
