The show is a non-verbal physical comedy performance that explores the intersection of youthfulness and Zen philosophy. A Shaolin monk relives his childish and clownish soul in his practice, discovering a world full of surprises and finding meaning in seemingly insignificant things. The show is freely inspired by the book Shaolin: You Don't Have to Fight to Win by Bernhard Moestl.

Tom Corradini's performance as the Shaolin Clown has been showcased at various festivals, including Avignon Off 2025, IAPAR (India) 2024, and Prague Fringe 2024. This experience has likely honed his unique blend of physical humor, which he brings to the stage in Edinburgh.

The show takes place daily at 11am from 6th to 21st August 2026 at the Fruitmarket in Edinburgh. Tickets are available for £7-10. The performance is suitable for all ages, nationalities, and audience members with hearing impairment.
