The Crawl

In this explosive physical comedy, two swimmers go head-to head in the race of a lifetime.  

Facing off in the competition this year: Mytha, a decorated swimmer from the icy north, and Steve, a plucky underdog from Dead-endton, UK. And don’t discount French favorite Debussy, who may or may not be sitting in the audience right now…  

In this high-energy physical comedy, two performers bring to life top-level athletes, commentators, coaches, and even a glacier in a splashy display of virtuosic physicality. Featuring cinematic storytelling, audience interaction, and original musical underscoring, The Crawl dives into a world of absurd competition.  

Described as “a masterclass in physical theatre” (Broadway World) with “the most affably handled audience participation I’ve seen this fringe” (The Guardian), The Crawl is a riotous, bubbly show with a heartwarming undercurrent.
