Posted in EdFestivals 2017, Plus 3 2017 - Features, Written Interviews by

“…we have steamrollered our way to success using a cunning mixture of bribery, prostitution, and micro dosing ketamine.”

WHO: Sergey, Performer 

WHAT: “Join the Balkan bad boys of puppetry at the pinnacle of their careers, the dazzling lights of Hollywood casting a halo around their leathery crowns. But, what goes up must come down… hard. A hilarious and heartfelt homage to Boris & Sergey’s descent into fame. The infamous pair invite you to discover what’s in the box and present the debut of Sergey’s one man show. But, what are Boris & Sergey without Boris… or Sergey? A lonely, rage filled ampersand, hell bent on retribution. Yet another high-octane, bittersweet, hyphenated epic adventure.”

WHERE: Assembly George Square Theatre (Venue 8)

WHEN: 21:25 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

Boris & I have been coming to Edinburgh for what seems like and eternity… in reality it is 6 years.

Our first show, Boris & Sergey’s Vaudevillian Adventure, was a seven five star sell out smash and the highest rated show of the fringe for three weeks before being pipped in the last week.

Since then we have steamrollered our way to success using a cunning mixture of bribery, prostitution, and micro dosing ketamine.

Tell us about your show.

I wrote the show, I write all the shows, I enslaved six puppeteers many years ago. They now sleep in a cupboard under the stairs of our old shoe warehouse in Hackney.

We have done some previews in London and we will be embarking on a world tour after Edinburgh, probably starting at Sydney Opera House and finishing in the Royal Albert Hall.

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

A therapist? They should also possibly see an STI doctor, you never know who was sitting on the seat before you, if it was Boris you probably now have incurable Gonorrhoea.

Once you are given the all clear you can see us again in The Omnitorium’s Rotating Rosta of Erudite Amusements and Motley Delights along with Fringe superstars like Red Bastard, Jamie Wood, Many Godden, Spencer Jones, Lucy Hopkins and more.
