A Brief Case of Crazy

A Brief Case of Crazy

Tuesday 15 September 2026

An award-winning romantic physical comedy from Skedaddle Theatre and Shoddy Theatre in association with York Theatre Royal.

Inspired by the timeless genius of Mr Bean, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, A Brief Case of Crazy is a heart-warming and hilarious physical comedy told through slick choreography, mime, clowning and puppetry.

Meet Thomas, an awkward, introverted office worker with a quiet crush on his equally shy colleague, Daisy. His quest for love must contend with a boisterous boss named Simon and a rather bothersome briefcase that drags an awkward introvert into extraordinary events.

Will his quest for love fail? Or will he discover, it’s what’s on the inside that counts? A Brief Case of Crazy is a silent love story with a very loud heart.

“Excellent…A Brief Case of Crazy is an impeccably timed rom-com delight.” - Everything Theatre
“Defintely a company to watch…this is pure theatre” - Broadway World
“Completely electric…like witnessing an evolution of silent film humour into the 21st century, full of sharp timing, goofy charm and unexpected depth” - The Young(ish) Perspective
