The Ladder, The Light-bulb & The Laughter Acrobatic slapstick act

A broken light-bulb, a folding ladder and Kyle's clown character, Jeremy, combine to create mayhem and hilarity along with some incredible feats of balance, strength and agility. The ladder seems to have a mind of its own as it folds through endless shapes and patterns that become unique platforms for Kyle's highly-skilled antics. Kyle moves his audience through full belly laughter, to edge of your seat tension until a nail-biting finale perched precariously atop a 2 metre ladder.

 

"...mixes up some very impressive acrobat skills with brilliant clowning action and some genuine hold-your-breath moments as Raftery performs some truly remarkable stunts" "Raftery is all talent and class"
- Caitlin Crowley, Fringe Festival Reviews.
