Always looking to contact and play with his audience in a rolling improvisation that follows a thread of clown logic punctuated with physical feats. Unbound by age, culture or language using sound and gesture to communicate. A musician, a manipulator (of objects), a storyteller, a showman, a peddler of laughs.

Freestyle improvisation keeps the set spontaneous and relevant to each audience. Rich soundscapes are created live before your eyes with nothing but the human voice, in a set that ranges from Trip-hop to Drum and Bass, from social observation to humour, from laughter to rage.  Impressive, evocative, playful and immensely entertaining.
