Special Projects in association with Stone Ranger Present A Supercollider for The FamilyThe Superconducting Super Collider - the giant particle smasher that will tell us what the Universe is made of - was never completed. Never mind, Ben Moor is going to develop a pocket-sized one to save us all the trouble. "This sweetly melancholic tale of a physicist's devotion to his tightrope walking wife is enchanting...the jokes are so fast that the audience are unable to laugh for fear of missing the next one." The Times The Rondo Theatre 8pm |

Forget Science Fiction - the coming wave is Science Comedy. A couple of
other performers in this year's Fringe inhabit this unknown territory, but Ben Moor is the
one who has already made that brave new world his home. 'Supercollider' is the fourth
critically-acclaimed solo show for the Oxford science-graduate-turned-comic and the way in
between has been studded with Radio 4&5, contributions to 'Knowing Me Knowing You' and
'Men Behaving Badly' as well as the regular TV comedy zoos; he also writes a regular
column for the Guardian Weekender and pops up in The Observer and super-cyber glossy
Wired. The show is set in the near future, where the hot new drink is "a 'Dutch Cappucino' - one of the new contraceptive coffees" and the supermarkets have gone to war. The narrator has been asked to launch "an atom-smasher for home use" and sets out with his guardian angel to shrink the 87 kilometre mechanism to the size of a bicycle wheel - and if that sounds bizarre, it's not the half of it and it does no justice at all to Ben's gangly arms-flailing delivery. A unique formula, definitely. |
