Trygve Wakenshaw
New Zealand/Czech Republic
The New Zealand born Trygve (pronounced Trig-vee ) is a physical comedy performer who studied at Ecole Philippe Gaulier, the prestigious Paris clown school with alumni including Sasha Baron-Cohen and Emma Thompson. Wakenshaw’s unique style combines mime, physical theater and cheeky idiocy – he is mad, risqué and uniquely eccentric. The critically acclaimed, award-winning clown presents his beautifully strange stream-of-consciousness idiocy in three different shows. His hilarious and fun hit physical comedies Squidboy, Kraken and Nautilus have been known to sell out at festivals around the world. He was also touring his award winning Different Party with best friend and collaborator Barnie Duncan.
Trygve is currently touring his latest show Silly Little Things, as well as Nautilus, and his kids show with Toboso Theatre Monsterrr.

PRAISE FOR
Trygve Wakenshaw
"Wakenshaw is so obviously a master of his craft that it almost doesn’t warrant mentioning, but it’s easy to take for granted how perfectly he calibrates every movement, distilling each imaginary object into a few simple movements that immediately suggest the real thing."
Chortle
"it’s nevertheless a pleasure to simply admire Wakenshaw’s physical control and invention, allied to his goofy desire to just entertain."
The List
"So magical, so delightfully playful. Wakenshaw leaves his audience slack-jawed with admiration."
