Mad Office, Trygve Wakenshaw & Barnie Duncan - Festival Còmic de Figueres 2019

Trygve Wakenshaw & Barnie Duncan

Mad office

The “Mad Office” show managed to sell out all the venues of the entire month at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017, they also sold out at the London Mime Festival in 2018; that year, they also won the first prize of the Adelaide Fringe... Their success facts are endless.

The scene takes place at the office of a mediocre business called Ruck Leather Interiors, but they’re not mediocre at all. In the apparent boredom of the office, gags and more gags burst, as well as the most incredibly insane stories. All this is a great absurdity created by two top-notch comedians: New Zealanders Trygve Wakenshaw and Barnie Duncan. A perfect show. A work of art.

★★★★ “Finely-honed silliness” –David Pollock, The Scotsman
