Adam juggling spaghetti in Edinburgh, 2011
We first came across Adam Taffler aka Adam Oliver in the Edinburgh Fringe couple of years ago once I had been organising – if that’s the expresse word – spaghetti-juggling within the Grassmarket.
He had been promoting their very own show, but joined in. This impressed me.
The the next time we encountered him is at the Fringe this season, whenever I saw him as 50 % of Almond Roca: The Lost Cabaret with Nelly Scott aka Zuma Puma.
But he could be not just a performer. He could be additionally a promoter. On the weekend, he could be staging a show and workshops by American act Red Bastard, whom got plenty of attention as well as an ever more prestigious malcolm hardee comedy Award nomination during the Edinburgh Fringe.
Then, on twentieth October, Adam’s Adamotions company – motto: Cultivating Hilarity & Humanity – gets along with comedian Bob Slayer’s Heroes company – slogan: Let’s have another drink! – to stage a performance of Malcolm Hardee Comedy Award champion Adrienne Truscott’s Fringe reveal Asking for It: A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy and Little Else!
Last night, however, Adam enticed me along to see one of his true Shhh Dating activities – which are basically speed dating you aren’t permitted to talk. Final evening it had been for 35-45 12 months olds. I became way to avoid it of my age range.
