Quirk, crazy, kooky and comic. These are the best words to describe the Austrian trio known as Theatre Irrwisch. The performers combine theatricality with physical performance, and an offbeat sense of humour to deliver a witty and intelligent performance. Although some of their humour may be lost on some, their inclusion of audience participation in their performances centres their comedic act, making it almost impossible to get bored and making absolutely sure that your attention is wholly drawn into the show.

With a performance that has slight Brechtian and Grotowskian influences, (on account of their unabashed destruction of the 4th wall and theatre conventions, and on account of their simple multi-functional props), their combination of hokey outfits and over-the-top theatricality it’s easy to see how an audience of old and young alike can all laugh at the same thing. Theatre Irrwisch as performers that are gifted in doing something a lot of artists  cannot easily do, they transcend the bounds of language and present an audience with a show that carries the message of universality , humour, and the also carries the message of how important it is to just let go and have fun.
