One of only two kids shows appearing in this year’s Victoria Fringe Festival, Think Bigg will appeal to adults as much as it does to children.

A “proven crowd-pleaser,” Trent Arterberry brings his globetrotting, world-class comedy to Victoria audiences in a “bigg” way.

The show combines mime, storytelling, puppetry and participation to create a series of kid-friendly stories and characters.

“…had the audience grinning from ear to ear. My face was sore at the end.” –Mooney on Theatre, Toronto

Think Bigg’s medley of comedic characters including Roboman and Mr. Bigg, a three-foot tall “mini-me” who grooves to rap and Russian folk tunes alike, will prove why Arterberry has earned such honours as Performing Artist of the Year (US National Association of Campus Activities) and Best Local Performer (Victoria Fringe).

Think Bigg played to large houses and rave reviews at the 2014 Toronto Fringe Festival.

“He fascinates his young audience and involves them in trying some of his moves and realizing the power of the imagination.” –NOW Magazine, Toronto

Arterberry, who lives in Sooke, BC, has performed everywhere – from Radio City Music Hall to underwater in the giant ocean tank of the New England Aquarium! His ability to illustrate the elemental language of gesture is a lesson he’s shared with thousands of audiences throughout Canada, the US, Mexico, the Far East, and beyond. Lucky for us, he’s bringing it back home to Victoria!

“Arterberry’s gift is two-fold – storytelling the doesn’t patronize and the agility to make it vastly entertaining.” –Monday Magazine, Victoria
