Winner Spirit of Fringe Award 2024 Sydney Fringe
From the award-winning creators of The Ukulele Man comes a new physical comedy show about the life of Charlie Chaplin!
He was America's darling, he was the most famous man in the world... and then he was exiled. This is the story of the Little Tramp and the man who created him.
You will laugh, you will cry, you will be on the edge of your seat… and then you will fall off because it's just that darn good!
Marcel’s performance training began at the age of nine at the Kim Harvey School of Dance in Canberra, where he studied ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop and contemporary dance. He went on to study ballet and contemporary dance at the New Zealand School of Dance in Wellington, but then took a different turn. After studying theatre, mime and clown in Australia, England and France, Marcel has begun creating his own original comedy theatre and is currently touring the Australian fringe circuit with his award-winning shows The Ukulele Man and Smile: The Story of Charlie Chaplin!
