Edward Aczel – Ever Tried. Ever Failed. No Matter. Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better.
“Britain’s greatest entertainer” (Time Out) outlines a few brittle thoughts on ambition, failure and why he would’ve preferred to be an ambassador. Or in theory a rock star.
Inspired by several of legendary music producer Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies, (including ‘Repetition is a form of change’) Aczel’s fifth Fringe show in four years is a delicate piece of anti-comedy, gently pushing the boundaries of entertainment. The show begins with SWOT analysis to single-out audience threats, moves effortfully onto Aczel discussing the career paths he wishes he’d taken (rock star, ambassador, accountant, monk) and nears its climax with a Politics Q&A.
