BEETHOVEN!
“The act proceeds with simple repeated physical gestures that build up slowly into unstoppable laughs. It is hard to describe how someone can conjure comedy from waving their hands around, but Andrew Simpson somehow pulls it off." -

Beethoven! is a ridiculous, over-the-top version of the ultimate artist-as-genius: Ludvig Van Beethoven. Covered in dust, with hair too fluffy and leggings too sparkly Beethoven (without speaking a word) entertains, provokes and cajoles his audience into performing one of his most famous works, with a delightfully silly twist. Expect lots of silly hand movements, flourishes and raspberries.
Created and conceived for the Clown Cabaret Scratch Night in Edinburgh, Beethoven has gone on to accost audiences far and wide.
The act has played at Clown Cabaret Scratch Night, Hidden Door Arts Festival, Full Cirqle Circus Cabaret, Clown Cabaret Special Edition at SURGE Festival and Manipulate Visual Theatre Festival, Coliseum@Pianodrome Live and at Centro Studi Teatro Urbano, Italy.
