Trickster

From Brighton to Eastbourne to London and ultimately to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival, Brighton-based entertainer Tim Bat plies his trade on the stage, in the streets and in shopping centers. On the way he meets his old partners-in-crime Bodger and Badger (of children's TV fame) and Romany, Diva of Magic. As Birdyman he tramps the streets of Brighton selling whistles. Arriving in Edinburgh with 10,000 leaflets for his show and a Birdy whistle on his tongue, Tim begins his three week run at the Fringe Festival. 'I've got to get people in to my show, but I've got to earn my money. Selling these is how I pay for my dinners, you see, literally. Hopefully it'll get noticed, and that's the point.'
