Smile is a dazzling one-man homage to a cinematic icon and arguably the greatest physical comedian of all time. With sell-out shows and five star reviews across the global fringe circuit, this is a joyful and poignant theatrical gem that celebrates the genius of Chaplin through mime, physical comedy and daredevil tomfoolery.

Expect to be blown away by a whirlwind hour of inspired physical storytelling recounting Chaplin’s impoverished beginnings, rise to meteoric fame, and political exile in Switzerland. This is Fringe theatre at it’s best - delivered with warmth, wit and Marcel’s signature mastery of physical comedy.

A one man show created and performed by Marcel Cole with assistance from Manab Sharma and Mirjana Ristevski.

Recommended 10+ but suitable for all ages.
