OLAF FALAFEL’S Stupidest Super Stupid Show So Far

Winner of the Best Kids’ Show at the 2024 Leicester Comedy Festival

After a sell out run at last year’s Fringe, comedian and children's author Olaf Falafel is dishing up another frying pan full of family-friendly comedy.

The comedy show comedians take their kids to is back and even funnier! Join Olaf Falafel (if that is his real name) for an hour of kid's comedy which will be the stupidest he has ever let trickle from his brain. Expect eggy brollies, truth-telling cheese and award-winning jokes. There will also be a live drawalong - we might draw a poo on a pogo stick but you’ll have to come along to find out!

Be there or be a dodecahedron!

Kids review

Oran and Roo, both seven, are delighted by the sheer volume of poo jokes.

What happens in the show?
Oran: Silly things!

Roo: There’s lots of jokes and videos and plenty of talk about poo.

O: They talk about poo and it’s funny.

R: It’s very funny and they showed a video and he dropped cheese onto a book and words that were in the holes of the cheese he readed and it was a pretty funny joke.

What was the joke?
R: I can’t remember the joke.

What did you like most about the show?
R: When we drawed a poo on a pogo stick.

O: Oh yeah, that was funny. A poo on a pogo stick is jumping on me.

R: No it’s jumping on me.

O: Me!

R: Me!

O: Me!

R: Both of us.

O: Me!

R: Me!

O [returning to the original question]: Everything.

[Later]: He was an idiot.

Was there anything you didn’t like?
R: No

O: No

What did your grown-up think about the show?
It was a fun hour – well-practised, engaging crowd work and truly the least terrifying front row experience I’ve ever had. Five stars for the video of a squirrel sliding down a pole alone. He’s a likeable character, even if he did say some mean things about reviewers to us, the reviewers.

Would you tell your friends to go to the show?
O: Maybe.

Would you tell Alba?
O: Yes. [to Alba] He’s a stupid guy! Olaf Falafel!

R: [nods solemnly] Click Here For Article

The Fringe veteran has crafted a delightful deluge of dunderheadedness for the Free Fringe.

Fringe veteran Olaf Falafel is many things: author, illustrator, dad, football team coach, comedian and complete idiot, to name but a few. Thankfully that’s the perfect skill set for a family show that’s been packing the bairns in for years (it’s lovely watching show returners get excited when their favourite bits are announced).

The format is nice and simple: a screen keeps us all on track as we hurtle between rounds of pass the parcel, funny videos made funnier (a highlight) and audience participation, all with their own jingles and interspersed with pun-tastic dad jokes that get the kids giggling and the grown-ups groaning. Some of the wordplay might just skim the heads of the very youngest, but it doesn’t matter: the next bit is never too far away and it’s all so silly that attention never wanes.

Draw Something Stupid sees the whole room coming together to draw a poo on a pogo stick: so yeah, kids do still have attention spans. It’s hard to over-emphasise just how appealing Falafel’s ramshackle charms are to the young team, evidenced by a sold-out crowd; even the Free Fringe is subject to market forces so if missing out would break your ankle-biter’s wee heart, then definitely book ahead. Click Here For Review
