MOST people think bubbles are for little kids. Not anymore! Bubble & Squeeze is a bubble show for grown-ups.
Self-described bubbleologist Louis Pearl has been delighting family audiences at Edinburgh Fringe for over a decade with his gravity-defying, awe-inspiring bubble tricks – and this year he’s back with a brand new, adults-only show
In Bubble & Squeeze, Louis will once again be with longtime collaborator, the musician and singer Jet Black Pearl, who has performed all over the world creating grooves and layers using flute, plastic bottles, vocal percussion and harmonies, all while squeezing her accordion.
Louis has spent the past 30 years exploring the art, magic, science and fun of bubbles. The toy maker-turned-showman brings to life the breathtaking dynamics of bubbles, combining comedy and artistry with audience participation and Jet Black’s music.
The pair promise that Bubble & Squeeze is “a late-night hilarious, risqué cabaret of bubble magic, mad effervescent music, and multi-media display that takes bubble art to a higher level… and beyond”.
Or as Louis likes to put it – you’re never too old for bubbles.
